Fixed Transfer   Dedicated Bandwidth   Tower Pricing
Dedicated Xserve Leasing   Dedicated Mac Mini Leasing   
Mac Mini Colocation   Managed Services   Extras

These plans include a fixed amount of data transfer in gigabytes per month. See our dedicated bandwidth plans below if you require more than 100 GB.

Rackspace		Transfer in gigabytes		Price per month
1U		50		$120
1U		100		$150

1U is one rack unit, and equals 1.75".
Additional U's are $30/month each.





Though only one plan is listed below, we can supply virtually any amount of bandwidth and rackspace you require. Contact us for a quote.

Rackspace		Bandwidth		Price per month
1U		1Mbit		*$200

*Pricing is based on 95% bandwidth usage calculations. 95% billing theoretically can yield 314.6 GB of data transfer per month per 1Mbit of bandwidth, but in practice yields approximately 200 GB of data transfer .





Locked cabinet tower pricing

Tower computers in our locked cabinets are priced according to the number of rack units (U's) they occupy in the cabinet.

Depending on the length of your tower you may have extra space behind it to put other devices, like external USB-2/Firewire hard disks. Additional U's are $30/month each.

Tower height in inches		Total U's needed
15" - 17"		5
18" - 21"		6

Use the chart above to match your tower height to the total U's needed. Then pick a Fixed Transfer or Dedicated Bandwidth plan and subtract 1U from your tower requirements.

For example: A Mac Pro tower measures 20", taking 6 U's total, subtract 1U to get the extra U's required, 5:

	Mac Pro Tower pricing example
	50 GB Fixed Transfer plan		$120
	plus 5 extra U's @ $30/U		$150
	Total  G5 tower/month		$270

    Intel Quad-Core Xeon Versions

Apple Dedicated Intel Quad-Core Xeon Xserve Lease Pricing
Intel Quad-Core Xeon Xserve		Transfer in Gigabytes		Price per month
Dual 2.0 GHz Processors		100		$450
Dual 2.66 GHz Processors		100		$550

The new dual-processor, dual-core Intel Xeon Xserves are the fastest Macs ever made, and are comparable to top-of-the-line PC servers. Each system is configured with a minimum of 1GB DDR Ram, 2 80GB serial ATA hard drives, and PCI video. For complete system details see the Apple Intel Quad-Core Xeon Xserve specifications.

A one-year initial contract is required for leased Xserves.

Includes
	• Free Mac OS 10 Server security and system updates    (worth $500 for each major upgrade)
	• No equipment insurance necessary
	• Premium bandwidth burstable to 100Mbit
	• We own it -- we fix it, if hardware problems arise

Apple Dedicated Mac Mini Lease Pricing        Intel Core Duo Versions
Mac Mini Model		Transfer in Gigabytes		Price per month
1.66Ghz Intel Core Duo, dual-core/ 512MB RAM/ 60GB hard drive		50		$120
1.83Ghz Intel Core Duo, dual-core/ 1024MB RAM/ 80GB hard drive		50		$140

The Mac Mini is the perfect way to get started with Mac colo. Ideal for web hosting, email, QuickTime streaming, and other services.

The new Intel Core chip models are significantly faster than the previous Minis which used the G4 chip -- as much as 4X faster (see the Apple Mac Mini specifications).

The new Minis are competitive in processor speed with G5 Xserves, but they lack the multiple drive configuration, server-grade drives, management features, and RAM capacity of the Xserves -- for the best performance, and greatest reliability for high-traffic web hosting or streaming we recommend the Mac Xserve.

  Add Mac OS 10 Server for an additional $50/month.

A 6-month initial contract is required for the dedicated Mac Mini, with
month-to-month payments thereafter.

Includes
	• Free Mac OS 10 security and system updates
	• We own it -- we fix it, if hardware problems arise
	• Premium bandwidth burstable to 100Mbit
	• No equipment insurance necessary

Transfer in gigabytes		Price per month
30		$70
50		$90
100		$120
* 200		$180

* 1 Mbit dedicated bandwidth

Add an external hard drive for an extra $15/month.
