Dedicated servers under $12
Hello everyone! I'm looking for dedicated servers that cost a maximum of $12. Hardware and location don't matter, my only requirement is that it's a dedicated server and within my budget. I intend to buy at least 8-10 servers, or even more depending on the price. Thank you all for your time.

Why not get a VDS?
Yeah, otherwhise OVH or Scaleway and /thread. Sorry @OP but this is just crazy lowballing even by LET standards.
I need unique hardware IDs
OneProvider still has those Atom boxes for $10 USD. Or buy a bunch of RasPis: https://rpiservers.com/
Also see https://www.ikoula.com/en/dedicated-server
I created this discussion because I've seen some offers here at this price, perhaps someone wants to transfer their KS-B from OVH, or maybe some provider has legacy hardware they can rent for this price. Since asking doesn't hurt, I decided to create this discussion.
The only one that I know if is Wholesale Internet.

Its very old, but it is dedicated.
Thank you for the answers
Sure, there's heaps of those just waiting to be transfered... OVH still has something around $12 though but i figure the setup will be a deal breaker for you, right? Even if not i personally would compare those boxes to what a $12 VDS would get me first.
Noone, outside a couple really big players will be able to do that. It's just not economical even if the HW is e-waste tier and it's just IP/bandwidth/electricity. There's really nothing but the absolute bottom of the barrel offers of a couple huge providers. It's a very straight forward take it or leave it situation once one exits magical Christmas land.
Hey,
Our cheapest dedicated server would be €20,-/mo. Let me know if that would work for you and what your bandwidth requirement would be.
@plumberg spinning rust available !!!!
God, i loved my Core2Duo back in the day but this day came and went. I run crusty hw zero questions asked but with this even i would have to pass...
Best case would be in a laptop exclusively setup for remote desktop use but beyond that it's sadly just one thing: The bad variant of outdated that is not outdated enough to be somewhat energy efficient.
You know what's even crazier? Most things in life got more expensive. That spinning rust is actually cheaper now!
Raspberry Pi hosting?

£5.95 per month
Surely whatever wretched and miserable thing that he runs that requires "unique hardware IDs" doesn't have any ARM version.
So, Scaleway. 5 EUR/pcs.
Thanks much for them tag
But I am happy cozy with the Atoms only.
Everything else is too overpowered for my use
I have this nagging feeling @OP actually expects the poor abused boxes he'll order to run Windows.
https://www.serverroom.net/order/dedicated/config?type=M700
AMD Opteron X2150, 8 GB RAM, 32 GB SSD
5$ monthly, 13$ setup.
Cool offer, but I find it so annoying that prices just nonchalantly switch to EUR once you pick any EU DC. Is that even intentional to charge almost 20% more for EU. Or is it just because, hey you seem European, you can conveniently pay in your currency. Not caring it becomes much more expensive that way.
This has got to be some FOREX nonsense.
What particular hardware ID has to be unique?
I thank everyone who has taken the time to respond seriously so far
basically everything
Elaborate. Because you can likely do what you want from a VPS.
I don't think this really worth the effort. I mean, chances of the application having found some kind of ID that isn't easily faked are obviously just about zero but then i also fear @OP wanting to run Windows on those boxes and also maybe being a little thick to begin with.
