Wow server blades in 2007 where estimated to be around 15k a piece. Also they don't need to buy anything and return it. That would be a huge pain. I'd imagine the IT team has discussed what they want for this project. I'm happy you where able to amazon up some examples, but the reality is that's not the route there taking whether or not the route could function in theory is irrelevant. As someone with a friend that's the Director of IT at microage that routinely sells to blizzard I can assure you this amazon method isn't the route there taking. If you'd like I'll see if he can ballpark some of blizzards expenses, the last time I asked it was in the multi millions though.

So unfortunately even if somehow they we're able to amazon plug in play this in a day as suggested it doesn't matter because that's not the route they're taking.
