Playing with the lenovo configurator and seeing the prices made me realize that my employer would never buy such a system for me :(

Back in the day, at Nokia we had 125,000 euros that we could spend in a year without requiring upstream manager approval. I once asked if I could spend it all in one go on workstations - and was told I could. So I got a couple of monster Dell dual CPU machines and put in a separate order for Adaptec RAID cards and high capacity Seagate SATA HDDs - I think 500GB or 750GB was the largest SATA disk at the time. The only question my boss asked was why I was removing the SCSI disks and replacing them with slower SATA. Once I showed him plans for Hadoop nodes etc - he said “oh you’ll need more nodes”

You’d be surprised at how much you can spend on IT equipment & infrastructure in large enterprises
