€49/m, 8GB, 2x750GB hdd, i7-920 quad-core: http://www.hetzner.de/hosting/produkte_rootserver/eq4

So, about 10x cheaper, in this case...

How is $80 10x cheaper than $400?

(Is anything X times cheaper than Y? Cheaper = delta. Expense / cost is the base. Seems like it's better to say 1/10 as expensive.)

Alright, 5x. I wasn't considering that the $ was so weak.

Same difference.
