Hi Martin. I was going to offer (esp. for people from germany/europe) some colocation, where I would build the system for them. Standard plan was a P5-100, 32 MB ram, 1 GB SCSI, Ethernet, Rack Mount, UPS. This would be at a charge of $1500 for startup and then $250/month for 1GB/day. So this might be a little bit over powered for you. I just calculated an AMD 486DX4-100, 16MB, simple VGA, 850MB EIDE, Network card, case, keyboard. It would cost around $650 plus shipping. 300-400MB per month is nothing. I would offer you that for $75/month. This a special offer for you and FreeBSD related projects :). Regards, Ulf.
