- is the operative word (unless you would like pay for it of course).

	If you're willing to put it into a 1U box with ears that
can be rack mounted, you can put it here.  The DFWUUG server is
already hosted here, and the host machine for next weeks' PyCon
is also colocated here. (if you don't have ears for your 1U box,
I probably do. It turns out they're a fairly standard spacing on
the sides.)

	You'll just have to put up with a BSD-head as the
colocation site operator.. :)

	Managed UPS power; 4.5Mb/s connectivity across to tier 1 NSP's;
host backup (via amanda) available. 

	Big restriction: no remote KVM, although remote serial
consoles are available (and expected, honestly.)

	If you're looking for boxes, I've got a stack of Compaq
AlphaServer DS10L's that are available, as well as a small
number of Intel ISP1100's. Both are 1U rack mountable systems.
The AlphaServer has true remote console management (managable
from cold machine on up.)
