Colo Request

I have a Dell r410 with dual x5570, 4 hdd, single psu and 32 gigs of ram. Curious what offers are there for around 20-30/month? Us East coast preferable. I would provide 4 post rails as well if required.

We have a 1U colo special in Tampa, FL. It's a little outside your budget but maybe it's something you could work with: https://vapornode.com/special-offers
Are you open to longer contract terms other than monthly?
oh yes. annual is what i prefer. If folks only go monthly i just pay the entire year up front...:)
I can do you a colo deal in Atlanta for $45/month. 5TB bandwidth and /29 included.
Did you even read his request?
Yes, what's your point? If he decides to increase his budget, it's an option. Meets every other requirement.
To be fair: He didn't state a bandwidth allocation nor how many IPs he wants with the colocation.
So technically @Lunar is right...
He isn't right in any way. It colocates his server, its on the East Coast and that's what we offer for the price.
Think you're clutching at nothing.
You need to calm down and figure out a better way to advertise your colo services other than post on every colo thread and trying to justify it when it's out of the requester's price range.
Given power costs in most of the US East Coast colo location options and depending on whether that Dell box has say 8x4GB DIMM's, it's going to be pretty power hungry.
The simple answer is, short of looking at the colo options in Kansas City or the mid-west, the budget is going to be difficult to meet for ANY colo provider. It's not like we're talking about racking up an E3 that can sit at 1A (maybe even less).
I'm perfectly calm, it's a requests thread for colo and I've posted an option, cheaper than another option someone posted further up.
Yeah, sorry for that - didn't mean to offend you.
However, it's well out of the stated price range. It feels like asking for a $1 cheeseburger at McDonalds and getting offered a $6.50 bigmac instead...
Now, that's an answer!
This comes in around $40: https://billing.dacentec.com/hostbill/colocation.php
Not sure there's anything much cheaper out there, but I wish you luck on your search
Protip before shipping: Your server likely also eats 2 L5640, these 30% less TDP (60 vs. 95W) and run at 6.5k vs. 5.2k cpu bench, you also gain AES-NI.
Can get them on ebay for like 40$ each, http://www.ebay.com/itm/INTEL-XEON-Six-Cores-CPU-L5640-2-26GHZ-12MB-5-86GT-sLGA1366-SLBV8-60W-6-Core-12T-/332038867453?hash=item4d4f0f09fd:g:XMUAAOSwYIxX5WdD
William offers a good tip. You're going to need to get the power usage down to get even close to your budget with a provider you would actually want to host with.
Very likely. It is possible that depending on the age of the motherboard it may not. Some of the original 5500 series boards won't support 5600 CPUs, and then another subset of them will support 5600 CPUs, but won't support any of the six core CPUs. Unless something on the manufacturer's site says it won't work, it's probably worth a shot, but recommend upgrading the BIOS first.
yea, a DL360 G6 does not eat 2 X5690 (G7 does), Mac Pro 4.1 without FW upgrade supports no 56 at all, X5687 and X5698 have sometimes other comp problems (no Mac for either, HP only G7)
R410 supports both the 5500 and 5600 processors. I might actually grab those procs for my own r610 and the r410. Thanks for the tip.
