I would find this kind of information extremely handy, for mundane
things like "What kind of server X inc. can afford?", or "How much worth
of precious corporate property had they wasted this run?"

Besides pricing servers, another good question would be pricing
softwares. I assume that those pretty Killers don(t come for nothing,
and this should also be accounted for in the total system value.
