[WTB] $20-40/mo devbox | 24-64GB NA | 2.5Gbps+ unmetered
in Requests
Looking for an inexpensive but reasonably beefy box that a friend and I will split.
Budget: ideally $20-40 USD total (willing to prepay/annual if provider has a decent reputation)
Location preference:
- USA/Canada strongly preferred
- Central/East NA is also fine
- UK is acceptable if deal is significantly better
- Europe won't work for us
Hard requirements:
- Unmetered / unlimited transfer with NO numerical monthly TB cap
- Shared networking is fine (obviously I don't expect dedicated line-rate 24/7 at this price)
- But please don't offer "10G, 20TB" / "50TB" / etc.
Network:
- 2.5Gbps+ strongly preferred
- 5/10G shared would be awesome
- 1 Gbps unmetered is acceptable only if the compute/RAM/value is exceptionally good
RAM:
- 24GB minimum
- 32GB preferred
- 48/64GB would be amazing

CPU:
- Ryzen 5000/7000/9000 would be ideal
- EPYC Milan/Rome is good
- Older Xeons are acceptable if the price/RAM/storage makes up for it
- Please mention the actual CPU model, not just "EPYC"

Storage:
- ~200GB+ SSD/NVMe strongly preferred, more is better!
- Cheap HDD/SATA storage or the ability to add a secondary HDD would be a huge bonus
- Hybrid SSD + HDD setups are totally fine
Obviously not looking for a dedicated 10G transit, etc. for $20 😂, I understand this is LowEnd territory. Mainly trying to find the best RAM/CPU/unmetered-bandwidth value possible.
Thanks!
