Slavik, curious, are you loading CentOS on these, shutting them down, then transporting them to a rack somewhere? Sorry if I missed this. Sounds like a lot of work
They've arrived :)

You don't... you pay to have them colocated into an existing backbone server farm. They have the contract to supply the Internet... you pay them to colocate your hardware and use x backbone.
I don't think most could afford a direct connection, as last time I looked it was something around $20 - $30k a month for a 1000Mbps connection.

After reading the thread title, I expected to see an image of some kind of alien spaceship landed in your backyard, not a bunch of boring servers
Disappointed.

Are Cogent ok now? When I used them we ended up having a weird performance issue with packets taking awkward routes before arriving at their destination. I've always stuck to Level 3 in the smaller DC / C4L.
Where abouts are you located? Can highly recommend Centro in Hemel Hempstead - UKDedicated do colo there IIRC. Stay away from Rapidswitch, Bluesquare and anyone associated with the IOMart group and the UK2 group.

I LOL'd when I saw this picture.
Of course the "inside joke" to that is ..... I knew someone who said they were going to be doing hosting inside their home. They had everything setup and still were stupid enough to try to run a stack of servers off their floor (no space below it and on a carpet).
Didn't last to long.

Totally wrong here in the UK. If you can get your kit hosted at a POP that LINX are at then you can get a 1gig port for around £1400 per year (£850 install charge). Nearly all of the UK traffic passes through LINX so it pays to be a member

Aren't you now talking about collocated though Deebs? Yes, collocation is cheap in most countries versus hiring a server.
I was referring to having your own server hosting, for example, setting up your own hosting solution from home or your business. That was the comment made above in which I referred.
Here, to get a 1Gb server quality connection at your business, or home office, would be 20k plus, minimum. If you collocate, then maybe a $150+ a month for the housing and connection.
I know you mentioned a rough price earlier in the thread Slavik, any ETA yet on a final price? Are you intending to put up a website for your services to clarify what you're offering in terms of service, features and management?

2x 160Gb HDD in software RAID1
Centos 6.4 64 Bit
100Mbit Uplink
10TB Data Transfer Each Month
Base Price £70 ($105) Per Month.

So an update.
Initial specs are looking about, on dedicated hardware, colocated in either Nottingham or Maidenhead UK (will be visiting the datacenters in the next week or so).
DualQuad Core 2.2ghz
8GB ECC RAM
120Gb HDD
100Mbit Connection (dual gigabit NICS on the server)
3Tb Bandwidth each month.
Single Dedicated IP per server.
For about
£65 (no panels required) - £80 (with plesk or cpanel) per month. (though this may be a smidge higher dependent on final installation costs)
Hopefully will have 40 servers delivered to my house next week
