Data Center?

[killklli]

Hey does anyone know a cheap data center in NY that I can send a computer tower to to be used as a game server. P.S. Loopy you cant comment

I don't know of any data centers that would accept a Tower.

All collocation is racks.

I would recommend consolidating a tower PC to a 1-2U case if you are planning on working with datacenters. There are a few datacenters that would charge you an arm and a leg for a tower since they really aren't built for racks at all.

Lol, Any data center will accept a mid tower, it classifies as 4u... Most of the time if you're a new customer and you play your cards right you can knock the price down.

EDIT: I know a host in NJ that will take mid towers cheap, let me see if I can dig up their name.
Meh, I cant find them, but google

You can talk their prices down...

Also The NJ Datacenters are just located right across the river from NYC...

There is another company in Albany

jesus im not rich enough to pay those per month even with donations. i was looking more along lines of like 30 40 bucks worst comes to worst ill try to talk down the other guy loopy was talking about for 50 bucks

You can get it for $25 for the first month if you use a promotion code.

I have found providers in Portland and Jacksonville that will do mid towers for $50.

You can't cheap out on colocation, you can get real cheap colo, but the support, and quality, features isnt there, but hey if it suites your needs, more power to ya.

[loopyman]

Support for colocation can be a little slow at times in my data center, but I expected that :p

If you want to save some money per month, get your tower into a 1u case, just buy a cheap 2nd hand one off ebay. Just make sure your cooling is adequate.

Eh, I colo my mid towers at near the same price I can colo a 1u... But I have 24/7 access to my KC Colocation Datacenter... For anything I send out of the State of Missouri, I will probably use 1 or 2u cases
