What would you pay for this server?

[FoxGaming]

Hey guys, though I've quit the emulation scene and kind of WoW all together I've been looking into colocation. I've been working on building a couple dedicated servers, i've got one completed thinking about dropping it off at the data center this week though i was curious what you guys would pay for it? I'm not selling it...I would just like your opinion on what it is worth on a month to month basis.

Stats:

Dual Quad Core intel Xeon processors 2.5ghz
8gb of Ram
2x10k RPM 250gb drives in raid 0, 500gb total
1x7200rpm Enterprise 2tb Drive 64mb Cache.
Currently Running Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter can always be changed.
Gigabit Ethernet connection with 10tb of Bandwidth.


My goal here is to find a steady price point that i won't be losing money on this adventure.

Give me your thoughts...

Thanks

I'm not an expert on these stuff but I would personally pay around 20-30 $ I guess

Thank you for replying. I may have to wait till i have enough servers built to fill a 1/4 cab then. Right now for this single server it'll cost me $69 a month for the internet and space in the rack.

Worth way more than that considering that is below his cost. Was going to mention it last night but meh..

I can't get passed the limited bandwidth. I mean, nobody will exceed 10TB unless they are being ddos - it's just the idea of having limited bandwidth. Since it costs you $69+ a month you obviously want to turn a nice profit. Guess I would pay around maybe $100 or a small value above that. Maybe you can get allot more, who knows. Faded or someone could give you a better opinion than I could.

Yeah the bandwidth cap is kinda ehh, i can raise it for not very much more like an extra $20 I might just jump for the ddos protection. But that does cost significantly more than the extra bandwidth which would all be reflected in the overall cost. Thanks for the idea though, I've looked around at a lot of sites but they're kinda all over the place when it comes to price.

People are always all over the place with prices on dedicated servers, it is ridiculous. Took us forever to find a decent one for ED that wasn't over $200-$500..

Yeah that's ridiculous, i could never pay that much. Especially when i could buy a server in what it costs to rent one for a few months.

If you need only 1 game have good dedicateds server 30 - 40 Euro
processor 4/4 or 4/8 , 4TB hd , 250mb net unlimited with anti ddos ( mitigation 3tb ) etc....

and if it's much to you, you can buy extra ip and sell 1 vps
