Maybe they found cheaper hardware, that's why they offer it for $19/month now. Let's wait and see if it's indeed the Odroid-U2
Plus $30 for shipping. Just get one of these for $90 shipped:

Same thing, more features and smaller, 8GB flash, use a cheap USB Ethernet connector.
I asked rsnet whether it's the odroid but they never answered me on this so it's possible they are using something else cheaper?
@nutjob
looks like a better deal than the odroid, it's possible rsnet maybe using these?
Do tell if you get a C2D
Just to let everyone know I asked WII and they give 1 free OS reload per month, there is also another option where you can request for a free KVMoIP so you can re-install the OS on your own..
Malaysia. This is first time my order being declined by a hosting company.
Nice to see a fellow Malaysian here.
I too, am from Malaysia.
Just got an email from them, it'll be more than the 2 day delivery time. I kinda expected that with the hundreds of orders they've gotten from this offer.
Anyone else get theirs yet?
I got mine yesterday and I think shovenose and kris did too.. so it took WII about a day to provision..
@earl Been 2 days for me. I was hoping to have a weekend project. sigh... oh well.
Yup - ordered the night of the 30th, got details early morning on 5/2 (3:00 AM MST)
They're probably flooded with orders and trying to source the parts as fast as possible.
Upside however, you guys who are still waiting for servers will probably have new HDDs even on 500GB models, as I'm guessing this sale put them out of stock on a lot of spare parts / inventory.
Totally worth the wait, network is amazing for a 19/month server, and goes up against a lot of "premium" bandwidth providers, with true 1 Gig drops... 250 Mbps seems to be too frequent these days.
if anybody needs one, I have a Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD, already provisioned but I don't need it as I got a box elsewhere for a little more but had some features I needed...
I'm sure they don't mind transferring to somebody else's account if you're already a customer.
I'll give it up for $25 (if WSI is ok with the transfer)
I did
pending on a response via ticket... @bcarlsonmedia is also interested in it. If WSI approves it bcarlsonmedia gets first priority since he asked first. if he doesn't want it then @Jack can have it.

How much per month?
@ Dragoon0309 For which?
didn't shovenose say he was paying $34/month for that server? It's $5 for the 2GB ram upgrade and probably $10 for the 1TB upgrade
Impulse ordered the Quad. What to do with it!
You think they would install a new HDD for me if I send it to them and let them know they can just keep it whenever I cancel the service?
@herbyscrub - open a ticket. They have pretty good support, although a bit slow at the moment with the huge amount of new people coming in.
Let us know what they say!
Don't think you can send them a harddrive, they may accept SSD, at least that's what they told me when I had the E5420 server..
Don't ask for a KVM they said the waiting line is 2+ weeks
2 weeks is fine. i remeber they use to answer forever
Got my Core 2 Duo now.
Nice CPU a E8200
But really old HD. Power On Hours 28015
How do you check how many hours the disc has on it?
smartctl --all /dev/(sda/sdb/etc...)
Ha! That is 206656647309424 hours on my dedicated server. Seems not too realistic, or does it?

This is useful!
@Amitz the smartctl version is old and doesn't know how to interpret the raw values of the SSD properly.
-Is there a repo with a newer version (using Debian 6) or another way to update the database?
Scratch that! Found it out! :-)
