Yeah, I was shocked how much they want for a colocation as well when I was looking into it. 
Most places it around 125$ just for the server itself then around 200+ for 2-3mbps connection. on 95th% billing.
Like Blik said if you have servers that are full 24/7 it's not really worth it, also if something goes down on your own you have to drive there fix it how long would that take? At least with renting it they will have it back up a hour or two. I have my own server I just built and am going to have it colocated, I'll let you guys know how well it goes. I'm going to be using Linux on mine as colocations look to see if you're using a cracked windows o/s.
