Hosting hardware prices. Is this a good deal?

Bandwidth is a separate issue, I'm wondering if this is a good price for hardware.


1 RAID 5 database/content server
3 Dual Xeon Web Servers
1 Gigabit Load Balancer

$1029 per month, plus bandwidth.

hd? scsi ? memory ?
I would say that the cost of the hardware is about 10 000 if 1U formats by Dell or Ibm...

Yep, good deal. make sure they also have back ups for your data off server, raid can break almost as easily as a hard drive can crash.

Hehe, thanks for the hosting offers guys, but I'm really just looking for a reality check on hardware prices, usually I just negotiate bandwidth and get the servers thrown in, but this is a higher end setup and I want to make sure I'm getting a good price on the hardware.

Mr Bond, no hidden charges, the bandwidth price is absolutely sick..that was negotiated separately.
I'm guessing 1000 gigs of storage on the RAID, all the machines will have at least 2GB RAM.
I'm also pretty sure the drives are SCSI, would make sense since the whole point of this exercise is to be able to handle a pretty heavy load.
