Thanks

Yeah was considering rapidswitch actually. Just not too sure on how much power a sc1425 would use.
Specs are the following:
2 X Intel xeons (each dual core)
8gb ddr2 ram
500gb sata hard drive
Any ideas?
Thanks

Depends on where you are and how far you are willing to travel when things go wrong.

Good idea but you have to consider power charges. Rapidswitch dont charge alot for extra power some others may charge £15 + And Charge Setup fees.

IceColo would be the way to go. IceColo + Melbourne are the top 2 I'd say up here in Manchester.
Good luck with it.
