Then you take the title and the average dev salary, and think about your best case scenario (only setting up the open source tools, onboarding your devs), your mid case failures (need to reboot, out of storage) and your worst case scenarios (hardware fails, lost storage, the high speed link goes down)

And you realize you're getting a deal

The worst case scenario is the most convincing one there, but the worst case scenario with a purchased service is often the same as DIY.
