Looking for US (East Coast) Dedicated server

Budget: $80/month
I'm looking to get a dedicated server for hobby game server hosting, among other things (all legal), with decent specs for the price I'm looking to pay. I'm generally looking for the following:
- 16GB+ RAM
- 100 Mbits or 1Gbps
- A cpu that scores relatively decently here: cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html
- Preferably some form of DDoS protection since these are game servers..
I was looking at getting a SP1 with OVH, however they have not been in stock anytime recently. (I will possibly be up to buying an SP1 from someone)
I'm currently with RSNet, but after my server being knocked off twice because of neighboring servers being ddosed, I am looking to move providers.

Our servers are located in Boston, MA.
I can do both 100mbit or 1Gbit with or without bandwidth. How much space and what type of harddrive setup are you looking for?
I have several dedicated servers ready for deploy with these stats: 24GB Ram and DUAL XEON L5520 2.26GHZ QUAD CORE CPU'S WITH 8MB CACHE.
SP1's were in stock briefly yesterday actually. You just have to check it continuously.
Ether way, I can work out a deal cheaper and easier then OVH.
Preferably SSD since, after all, these are game servers. Not entirely sure about the space at this point.
I currently don't have SSD in stock so I'd have to order them, but I do have 1TB drives. Would two 1TB drives in a raid 1 work? For bandwidth would 20TB on 1Gbit be fine?
So for:
Ram: 24GB
HD: 2x1TB - Raid 1
CPU: DUAL XEON L5520 2.26GHZ QUAD CORE
BW: 20TB on 1Gbit or Unmetered 100mbit
IPs: /29 - 5 Usable
Price: $80/m - No Setup Fee
