* What level of support do you have (can you call someone at the
DC at 4am and have him hot-swap a failed HD for you)?
* How many shared or own gigabit or 100mbit uplinks are included?
(if >1: can do bonding on your interfaces?)
* With how many other servers do you share the same circuit-breaker?
* I guess you have at least 1 UPS + 1 non-UPS power supplies?
* exceptionally good peering?
* network/power SLA?
* 24/7 access to your server?
I worked for a DC in europe some years ago and i'm genuinely intrigued how the price in your spreadsheet for colo-hosting is so much more than what i was used to (~100-150$/U).
- idlewords 12y ago$600 is for an entire cabinet, 15A, 100 Mbps bandwidth. HE doesn't offer half-cabinets in that facility, or I would have gotten one. Note that 15 A is nowhere near enough power to fill it to even 1/3 capacity.

The dc I worked at had individual circuits even for quarter- and half-cabbinets (2x 16A each), but i don't know how common that is in general. (instead of just putting 4 quarter-cabinets on the same circuits and have 1 customer blow his and 3 others' power)
