[WTB] Dedicated Servers in Bulk [32GB i7]
Hello,
i am looking to rent a few unmanaged Dedicated Servers with the following specs:
- Intel Core i7-4770 or similar
- 32GB Ram
- 1-2 TB HDD
- One dedicated IP
We are speaking about 5-6 Servers a week, our budget per Server is around 35$ but you can offer anything you have.
Thanks

Hi there,
I know this is out of your budget, but I thought I'd let you know anyway just so you've got the option.
We do have i7-4790 servers available that we could provide for £50/mo or $67.
We could drop this down to £45/mo or $60 depending on quantity.
Regards,
pls send coins
Yeah, this coin shit is getting boring.
Willing to do longer contract than monthly? How many are you buying in the first batch?
Yes we are willing to do longer contracts. If the price is right we would take atleast 5 in the first batch.
Thanks for the offer Zare, i look into it
Hetzner has a few i7's for the price range, benchmarks are close, about 1k difference.
We already bought 30 i7's at Hetzner but they slowly run out of em so we need a Plan B
Servdiscount has a few i7's in this range, but the support is meh, its nothing compared to Hetzner.
how about kimsufi?
Besides people like @Neoon who are head deep into this shit (and will be remembered when people need servers for something that is even remotely useful) you will get little sympathie here.
Well, If something dies, in your server, which results in downtime, like mainboard, psu or very rarely the cpu. They investigate, I had my motherboard replaced in 60 min.
But if something like HDD or Memory goes shit, server stays online and It could take a while until they replace the hardware. While = 0-3 Days.
And servdiscount, took 2 days to replace a fucking drive, hetzner does it in 10-15 min.
Oh that was YOU. Sheesh.
Yeah, already wondered why the serverbörse got empty the last weeks...
I don't think it's for mining. The RAM and disk are completely unnecessary for mining. Besides, the i7-4770 would not be able to mine more than $20 /month worth, so the $35 /month would technically be preferable if it weren't for the extra RAM and HDDs....
True but then it was obvious the specs were just copied from Hetzner so i read the request pretty much as i want something like Hetzner. Maybe he has some overly profitable alt coin?
When I got my i7-3770 a couple years ago, it was about the cheapest way to get 2x 3TB of raid-1 storage, The cpu and ram and network were almost just gravy. I do some big cpu tasks sometimes but it's usually idle, so mining is tempting even if it doesn't cover the whole server cost. I haven't pursued it though.
We are not using them for mining, those specs from Hetzner just fitted into our business model thats why i keep looking for simliar specs. I am sorry if i offendet anyone mentioning where we get our servers or how many we have.
If you're not mining with them that's actually encouraging to hear. Can I ask what you're using them for (just curious)? It's refreshing to hear about someone using that much cpu for something other than mining. (Hmm were you the person doing transcoding as a service or sth like that? I guess it beats mining).
We are still looking for a bunch of Servers.
I don't wish you personal harm, but I would coinproxy all over your face if you were nearby. You're killing affordable machines just as quickly as the shoeminers.
HDD and ram is over specced for mining.
So what? These are pretty much the best deal available when it comes to $/performance ratio and there is no option to cut specs.
Which part is wrong? I identify 3 parts.
RAM is not necessary for mining
Disk is not necessary for mining
i7-4770 would only be able to mine $20 /month
Which part is wrong? Probably the part about $20 /month right? But it's not VERY wrong. Only a little. You might be able to squeeze $40/month out of an i7, but's assuming you get the average with minimal fees.
Again, i would not look for 1-2TB disk space or 32GB Ram if we use those machines for mining.
Read the thread, people were suggesting the op wanted them for mining I said they are over specced for such thus probably wanting to use them for something else, satisfied?
Yeah mining was the first thing that came to mind, but that doesn't need the memory and disk that OP asked for. JamesDD, given the amount of gear you seem to want, if it's a long term requirement, maybe you should consider colo rather than dedis. Or if you're doing transcoding, look into some GPU codecs instead of CPU.
My $50 in the past 3 days must be some insane metric then, or I'm just not making extreme assumptions about blockchains that are different.

At best you're looking at about ~$45/50 a month from an i7-4770
Nope. You don't understand why these specs don't mean shit. Also one of those people suggesting hes mining was me. Maybe you should read the thread. Moron.
