The first one was specifically ordered to be a webserver, I was asked
what kind of specs we would need for that so took it accordingly.

The 2nd one is big enough to replace the 2 servers that kaleb wanted to
rack. I have no idea why we didn't went with the servers he had in the
first place, but I supposed this was discussed before my involvement in
the first place.
