I was curious if anyone knew if it would actually be cheaper to purchase a server or two direct from somewhere and have that server sent to the hosting company to setup rather than 'leasing' the server from the host every year.

Basically im thinking a couple of servers of the same specs we have now but still in place at the same host may actually work out more cost effective in the long run, does anyone else currently do anything like this, i think its basically a 'managed' plan?
