A typical first generation computer system cost a couple million to buy outright or roughly $10,000 to $20,000 a month to lease. Most were leased instead of purchased, especially considering maintenance was included in the lease while if bought outright you had to get a separate monthly maintenance contract anyway and the first generation machines were rather unreliable.
