Well, in fact, I usually am that guy.  I buy a an Intel box with the largest
RAM that it will support and the biggest hard drive that the budget will
allow.

When the box is maxed out (either on RAM or DASD) I just start saying, "No"
until someone says, "I have budget for a new server."

The production is business critical.  There is no point to the existence of
this organization if the production database is not functioning.  This may
be hard for the bean counters to understand but their existence is pointless
if the database is not working.
