I considered colospace about 2-3 years ago.  At the time they quoted me
1U for $100/mo _plus_ 256kbps bandwidth for $200/mo. DOH! Suffice it
to say they dropped off my list very quickly because of high bandwidth
charges.  They may have changed prices since then.


$300/mo/20U probably doesn't include bandwidth, at least I'd be
surprised if it did.  Don't forget that at least 1 of those U's would
need to be used for a GE Switch.

Their locations webpage says they have a generator but doesn't mention
site-wide UPS.  You never know if it's not mentioned... Another 2-3U for
a UPS may be needed, not to mention the one-time cost.

I might be in for 1U if they've dropped their bandwidth prices since I
last looked.
