[WTB] $20-40/mo devbox | 24-64GB NA | 2.5Gbps+ unmetered

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!
