I was lucky enough to spot an offer from Online.Net (OVH's main competitor in France) a couple of weeks ago with some old blade servers being sold virtually at cost. This offer has now closed. There is a thread over at LowEndBox.

Specs are:

• Dell DCS Blade system
• VIA Nano U2250 CPU (1 core @1.6 Ghz x64)
• 2GB of RAM
• 160GB HDD
• Gigabit connectivity (no bandwidth guarantee)
• 100GB FTP backup space in separate datacentre (can mount this for more data storage space if required)
• 1 IPv4 per server + /48 IPv6 per account

Joodle of the 'Install Windows Image onto Kimsufi Servers' fame also found that his Win8/2012R2 images installed just fine on the Online.Net boxes too. Unfortunately the Intel Drivers for these NICs are not included with Windows 7 or 2008R2 so those images do not work.

I ended up buying two, and am currently running two seedboxes for €4/mo which are pumping out huge amounts of ratio.

Unfortunately the CPU is quite underpowered by does okay for a seedbox. It does struggle with RDP and for the fact it is half a world away from me.

Anyone else get some of these? I am hearing that rTottent + ruTorrent on these simply fly.
