A recent article states that many organizations won't be seeing a very big increase in their IT budgets. A few even state that their IT budgets will probably be cut this year.

One of the obstacles facing the decrease in IT budgets is the current slump in the economy. According to the article, there has been a "definite pull back in new server purchases." So where do all of these companies get their servers if they aren't buying them new?

If you are running into the same situation as a lot of these companies are reporting, refurbished hardware may be your solution. It's a great way to make sure you are getting the most for your money.
