These strike me as opposed services.  The idea of SaaS -- aka pay-for thin client computing -- is cheap local hardware.  Let someone else pay for the workhorse hardware, power and cooling.  You just pay for a dirt-cheap terminal and whatever computing time that you need.  There is no cost benefit to buying workhorse hardware and paying for power and cooling *and* SaaS rates to do anything with it.  Technically, sure, you could do it.  Nobody in his right mind would buy it.
