I don't care whats on paper, I wanna see a YABS of it.
But none of them come with the full package — upgraded CPU, more RAM, and additional HDDs (though the one with the GPU still seems the most appealing to me).
Alright then. I'll show off some fresh YABS in the morning.
P.S. I got an EPYC from the Mystery. Lol. Ordered 4 — got two EPYCs and two standard ones.
I thought I had the best deal possible with my KS-MYSTERY with cpu, nvme upgrade + additional HDDs
But I would have been very happy with this one
E3-1270v6 32GB 2x16GB DDR4 2400 MT/s 2x450GB NVMe + 2x4TB HDD
The best, its less than half the price of the Mystery.
Yes one of the best deal for LET if not the best
300mbps if good enough for most use cases
I wanted a server with nvme + hdd
But I didn't know the KS-LE-B came with these configurations. I've owned quite a few, but none with such specs
Still a beast though, with 2x 1.92TB NVMe's, 10gig down, faster CPU than the KS-LE-B.
IPMI....
YABS

Sweet mother of christ mate
I hope so, because I am getting sleepy
My bet is on Monday.
17 hours to go.
I think we will only see a price adjustment or 1gbs for all ks range + vrack
Whatever they do, if they could spare us the 1245v2 on a desktop motherboard, that’d be great.
Seems like they’ve got a shitload of them just idling. They should make them into $5 a month KS Specials.
5$ you say hmmmm
3 hours to go
Some Kimsufi servers already have the installation fee waived for commitments of at least 3 months, even though this is not mentioned anywhere.
I mean, this makes sense, OVH doesn't want you to just flip everything over on every sale.
So they decided to make it free if you commit for x months.
However, free setup doesn't make it a good deal.
If the deal is good enough, people even willing to pay setup.
Our Kimsufi historian @adns wrote an essay on the Tuesday principle: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/4412509/#Comment_4412509
But there's still an hour left to prove the principle wrong!
My best bet is the next business day but will see.
Tomorrow is so far...
Indeed
the best bet now is on Tuesday, 17 hours to go.
lolz.. there's 1 SYS-LE-1 in the list... otherwise nothing much
I warm you, if it's not tomorrow (tuesday), I'll go back to bed.

May OVH drop us some good deals
I think we could see the next few years of sales and still not be better than previous deals I don’t see the mystery being beaten for a long long time
Maybe, we shall see, OVH shall prove us wrong.
