I have no idea what a reasonable price is but that is one helluva dedicated server.

2x 2TB SATA HDD (RAID1) (1TB Usable)

Dunno how you will really be able to sell too many of those plans without overselling your hardware (since it says 1TB is useable).

sorry i meant to say 2TB usable - edited

It doesn't matter. I/O will be the bottleneck. I'd suggest at least 4 SATA2 drives(I guess you can't afford SAS in the beginning) or even 8 drives since you have a lot of RAM and powerful CPU.

Also, if you buy dual X5650you won't have 24 cores. It's 12 cores and 24 threads(ever heard of hyper-threading?). 12 * 2.66GHz = 31.92GHz

Yup I/O will Screw u Over

@Krun!x thanks for pointing that out -edited

regarding I/O thanks for pointing that out too
i'll have to upgrade to 2x 2TB - SAS w/ RAID1

Use of these VPS's to use as a Uploading/Downloading
RDP is strictly forbidden.

but bearing what's been said so far how much would
you price these VPS's at?

The main problem is your RAID1 for a VPS node. HDD will be the limiting factor for you since you have lots of RAM and CPU power.

BTW ecatel offered the server to you? or you colocated it there?

I'd say around $10 on your low end, and around $50 on the high end. Just figure out how many VPSs you'll be able to fit on each node (without overselling the hardware), and divide the cost of your node by that price -- add a little (so you don't make a loss), and there's your rate.

Thanks for your reply IonVM,
that sounds right

I have emailed them regarding this,
and its either:

They offer me one similar to it,
I collocate with them (dont want to do this as it will cost a lot)
I might go for another provider.

this is really an example thread in a way to see
what is possible regarding pricing as then i can
weigh up my options

What what do you mean HDD will be the limiting factor?
