Funny you should mention that there was no hardware available. Digg had a second cage full of servers in VA as part of a failed attempt to go multi-DC. If that project had ever worked out there would have been 50% more capacity. Those servers and network gear just sat there unused until they finally got liquidated for pennies on the dollar.
