I have moved from Dual Xeons to Dual Operons at LiquidWeb

Here are my specs...

2400 GB Premium Multi-Homed Bandwidth (1200in + 1200out)
Dual CPU + Dual Core Opteron 265
8GB DDR Registered ECC
Dual 36GB SCSI / Hardware Raid 1
Linux - CentOS 4 (x86_64)
Cpanel
50 GB Remote Backup.

Becuase of the CentOS 64 Bit I have had some issues (I can load APC or EAcellerator) but everything else is working fine.

EVA (George) helped me out a few weeks ago on my configuration files and now I am quite happy.

I am a very busy board with 1700+ online durring most of the day (60 min cookie timeout)

LiquidWeb also offers colocation and I am looking into this, as If I purchased my own server and colcated it with that I would be saving $600 a month which would pay for the server quick.

Anyone know of some decent places online to shop for servers?

I would probably have the same config however have larger drives (and probably go with a SATA Raid setup instead of SCSI, and would probably drop down to 6 gig of ram instead of 8 as of now I am only using about 3 gig of ram and the rest is just sitting there.

I use to be with the planet but dropped them as they screwed me over when I ordered a second server, which when I spoke with them on the phone they said they could locate it in the same datacenter and cross connect my servers together...

I didn't realize this was not done until I checked my stats after having the new server for 2 weeks and found out I was way over my bandwidth for the month. I +++++ed and moaned to get it moved and they said sorry for the fact I was told on the phone I could get them in the same data center but they never guarenteed it, so then I threatened to cancel and they suddenly found a way to move my server to the correct datacenter but it was going to cost me $400. I asked if I could use my allotment of support time I was given each month (and NEVER used in the 2 years I was a customer) and they told me no, so I shopped around and found LiquidWeb, canceled theplanet and never looked back (and have been very happy with LiquidWeb)

Anyways back to my question anyone know when I can shop online for decent servers at decent prices?

Thanks
