True, my system is fairly static. But it scales when I need it. As mentioned, it's for my personal use. "on-demand scalability" is a bullshit buzzword in this context. My goal was to buy a machine capable of several specific tasks.

Not those tasks :-) I have no trouble maxxing out my disk IO and memory, slightly more challenging to keep my CPU busy but it's keeping an average load of 4-8.
If you can't keep a machine busy, just turn it off. Simple as that. I would not have bought such a beast if I didn't have a plan keep it busy!
