No, it doesn't. Check out www.stanq.com/wf1.html  They saved floor space, power, and air conditioning. They improved performance greatly.

They called me about 6 months after installation, and wanted to know which hardware contracts they had to renew. I crossed out the pieces they didn't need anymore, and it saved them money -- $100,000 per year.

So, the up-front might be big, but the tail-end costs can justify the whole project.
