Dedicated servers at "European" costs in the US?

Well, the title says it all. What options exist for dedicated (unmanaged) hosting at reasonable costs and modern specs?
The cheapest I can find with a good cost to specs ratio is obviously OVH in the US and CA. OVH in the US though is pretty limiting to what you can configure. E.g. there doesn't seem to be an option for adding network backups as they already do for their EU datacenters.
Beyond that, I've found US Dedicated (limited setups, good costs), Hivelocity and Servermania (both with somewhat reasonable costs), but surely, there are no "Hetzner" or "Online.net" class costs anywhere to be found.
I'm generally looking at min. 8 CPU threads, 64GBs of RAM, 2 x 500GB storage (SSD or NVMe).
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

What about Wholesale Internet?
Or Dacentec ?
I second Dacentec. Network's not too shabby and support is solid
I mean... @MrRadic with Reliable Site is pretty cheap for the amount of bandwidth you get with it, worth a try
Aside from them - Dacentec is a great choice for east coast/central connectivity, and Wholesale Internet is okay for central/west connectivity. Even east, but at a 60ms+ latency
Although Dacentec and WSI use some pretty old hardware on their lower tier offerings
dedicated.com (formely usdedicated.com) decreased their prices to below OVH EU prices. You can now get a E3 1270v6 64 GB RAM 2x 1TB HDD for only 69.99$
BurstNET (RIP) used to be one of the leaders in cheap servers in the USA. Not sure how many equivalents there are these days.
Thank you all for your recommendations.
+1 for @MrRadic with ReliableSite
Yup +1 from me as well for @MrRadic
