If i can buy two desktops instead of one server then i can made a nice failover configuration instead of using just one server. Also as i know google and fb think that ecc is useless, isn't it?

Well, just order 50 of them and install k8s.

Failover is useless when you have already increased your chances of corrupting data. Even with ECC there's some degree of corruption; doing without is suicidal.

Google figured quite early in its life that RAM was the one component not to skimp on: http://research.google.com/pubs/pub35162.html
