HP c7000's are 10U - but they suck a hell of a lot of power. It would be great to pay just 150 per month to physically host 16 physical servers with (N) VMs running on it - but getting the power to it kills this deal. EDIT: actually - you should be able to negotiate free hosting of an HP chassis assuming you get serious BW and power at full price.

not at he.net. you are limited to 1 15a 120v circut per rack there... and that's not going to be nearly enough to run your blade server. (One sales guy said I could buy two racks, use one for storage, and put both circuits in one rack... but you'd need, what, six of those puppies, at least for the blade monster, if it can even run at all on 120v power. I bet that the he.net cooling systems would have a difficult time dealing with such a hot-spot.) I'd recommend talking to SVTIX if you are looking for local high-power co-location, that or some place in Santa Clara. I live in the low-end here; if you need a lot of power, you are probably better of going direct with someone who owns a data center, and/or shipping it to Texas.
