$20k is nothing for a server when you are building high reliability systems which need a lot of processing power.
One project for a large banking system spent about $14 million on servers. Some of the servers were $3.2 million each. They were the size of a fridge and the expansion cabinet was equally large. Had to reinforce the datacenter floor and add additional power to the building.
