OK, it now seems that here at Steadfast Networks (http://steadfast.net) the Core 2 Quads and the dual Clovertown/Harpertown systems have become more popular than the Core 2 Duos. This means we have a large inventory of Core 2 Duos left, thus I'm passing on some great discounts. Now why spend more money at SoftLayer for the same server, when we also include management services?

The Offer:
Core 2 Duo E6600
2.4Ghz 4MB Cache Core 2 Duo (Dual Core)
2x 250 GB SATA II Hard Drive
2 GB ECC DDR2 SDRAM
10 GiB Backup Space
9 Usable IPs
Basic Management
DDoS Protection
Remote Reboot
Availability: In Stock

2000GB Standard Bandwidth (100 Mbit/sec port) OR
1200GB Performance Bandwidth (100 Mbit/sec port)
- $159.95 per month | Free Setup

# Updates for Supported Software as Requested
# Repair of Major issues with Pre-Installed Software
# Ping/Service Monitoring
# 24/7 Onsite Personnel
# On-Demand DNS Management
# On-Demand Security Assessment

Networks:
Performance Network - AT&T, MCI/Verizon Business, Savvis, Level(3), XO, PCCW Global, TeliaSonera, GameRail, and local peering. A great network for gaming, VoIP, or anything else latency sensitive. I'll put it head-to-head with InterNAP any day.

Standard Network - Savvis, XO, PCCW Global, TeliaSonera, GameRail, and local peering. A very solid BGP mix, no Cogent or HE, with great throughput perfect for standard web traffic.

Overall, we have 32 Gbit/sec of network capacity and we are always under 40% utilization.

There is a looking glass and test files for both networks here: http://steadfast.net/corporate/lookingglass.php

Terms

This offer is good while supplies last, though I expect that to be until about the end of February. To receive this special, you must say "C2D WHT Special - yourusername" in the comments field of the order form. As a note, these systems only fit 2 drives, so it will be assumed you want 2x 250GB drives, no more no less, unless you say otherwise in the comments field.

Note: The special includes two drives, if you are only going to use one, tell us, so we're not just wasting a drive, but you won't get a discount. If you don't have a need for the 2nd drive, maybe you should just consider using software RAID 1. Software RAID 1 can be setup at no additional charge as long as it is requested in the comments field.

Is it possible to pay for Setup so the monthly payment become lower?

Thanks

Not on this special.

I finally made the jump. Order put in about a half hour ago. I'm lagging because it is late. Not sure if I should send the advertised amount or wait for an updated invoice.
