I wouldn't even buy new hardware. I would buy retired hardware for a fraction of the price.

I would imagine that managing such a pool of dated and highly heterogeneous hardware would incur a lot of overhead. The procurement effort may end up being rather high as well.

yet a number of FAANGs have datacenters full of mismatched lease returns. So it much make sense at some scale.
