$50/month at 40U rentable is $2000/rack/month if it's full.
And then there's the newer high-density rackmount units like this one http://www.rlx.com/products/serverblades/dense.php This product puts up to 24 server blades in a 3U chassis which basically means you can put 8 times as many servers in a rack. And if any of you have played with things like the Zaurus C760/C860 then you know where all this is headed. $50/month today, $25/month in a year or two, and then in about 5 years it will be a free perk if you sign a two-year contract with your broadband provider. --Michael Dillon
