Perhaps if we could get a group of us together and then go about contacting local DC providers and see what kind of pricing on a per cabinet basis we could get? I am fortunate that an Infinity Internet customer who has 2 cabinets loans me 1U of space, I believe he's paying about 500 per cab per month which isn't too bad as it includes 1 20 amp circuit and a large amount of bandwidth. If we got enough people who were interested, willing and were in it for a reasonable period of time perhaps we could all rent a cab and share.
