This answer segues well into my question: why, exactly, do you want a physical server? I realize that there are plenty arguments for running your own hardware (and bandwidth is cheap and plentiful in Chattanooga -- which deals with the main carrying cost), but, presumably you'll need more than one (for replication and whatnot), right? What exactly do you plan to run/host on this server? -Ross.
