We have ONE Sun Cobalt RaQ 550 for sale. This machine is the best you can buy - the top specification with extra bits added on!

Spec:


Cobalt RaQ 550 (100 times better than a RaQ4 or 4i)
1.26 Ghz Pentium Processor
2 x 80Gb HDDs - can be used seperately for 160Gb of webspace, or we can set up RAID1 mirroring for data redundancy

And how much for all this?

The pricing has now been amended again:

Move in on November 15th for $250, then, pay NOTHING until January, where you will begin to pay $250/month directly to serverrack.

Preferred method of payment is PayPal, but we also accept any Credit or Debit cards.

E-mail me direct at jerome@valcato.net for any more info or to order. We only have ONE of these servers, so get in there quick!

This will be a deal with me until January when you will transfer dealings to ServerRack.

I purchased this server before ServerRack had to raise their prices, which is why I have secured the lower monthly fees. They will STAY AT $250/month from January onwards - not go up.

You would have to ask serverrack about their connectivity, but their network is at about 30% utilisation and the speeds we have experienced on their network are phenominal. Their approach to personal service is unique and I would recommend them to anyone!

[good comments from a customer]

they have a very solid network using sprint + savvis connectivity, which offers great times from europe. they're also upgrading their network in Q1/Q2 - 2003 to a new fiber provider (keeping sprint + savvis as backup).

their support is also amazing and very personal. i'm very happy with them and have had almost 2 years experience with them.

looks like $250 a month from the looks of his initial post, directly to serverrack. which is $121 or so off of their usual montly payment.

with that you get a rock solid network and fanatical 3rd tier support (not 100% fully managed, but, almost. lots of handholding is available if you're not very comfortable with administering your own server)

you'd probably want to contact either server rack or valcato for that question, as, this is a special deal that server rack doesn't normally offer.

Guys,

Jerome's lease expires in January and he is putting in a plug for us to help get the machine back in use. Its only 3 months old.

If a customer would want to lease the machine in December, we would terminate Jerome's lease, refund him the month's payment, and start a new lease with the new customer. This would get rid of sublet liability and other complications.

Regardless of when the lease starts, the new customer needs to pay on a quarterly basis (this is a brand new machine). Of course, we are always willing to negotiate offline, etc.

The $250/month price is a special, one-time offer to get the machine back online immediately.

Hope this clears things up...

:)
