I think TCO is important, but that involves a lot more than initial capital cost for the machine. It involves things like being able to get service 24 x 7, continued parts availability after the box isn't any longer the latest-and-greatest, lights-out-management, a design that's been tested and qualified (rather than just slamming the motherboard du jour into a box), ability to scale up (and not just out), maintenance of binary compatibility (contrast IA-64), etc. JMHO.
