My point was that there may be no viable market for the metal; there may be a very small market of service providers who might might require made to order servers or may be even build their own like here http://www.opencompute.org/ http://www.opencompute.org/ . There won't be any reasonable margins left in the low end server market to sustain a hardware only company The existing market of SMBs and enterprises for "the metal" is going away.
