The only place I know is local to me, in San Diego. a run down 150 is entry level permonth you basically pay and in time own the machine. specs for that level can be found here http://www.host2own.com/servers/hservers/hservers.html its a bit more than you would pay for the amd system, this is I believe a p2. 450 and its linux. but you can actually install anything you want on them. I have talked to the company before, for a third party. > Well, I'm not the one configuring the box.
