I have few dedicated servers but was wondering whether it makes sense to start buying used servers on ebay like dual L5420 configured with 2x128G SSDs or 4x1TB, max memory 24GB, ship it directly to a collocation facility and get a nice VMWare node for around 400$ + colocation costs. Can such exercise beat current dedicated offers that seem to always miss a second drive or IPs or Memory or something !!!?
