They tend to be out of stock, but VolumeDrive comes pretty close: http://volumedrive.com/vdrive/?a=dedicated
The other thing you have to consider is the 150 euro setup fee on the Hetzner server, though that becomes less of a factor if you keep the server for an extended period of time.

That is pretty good. although being sold out and 1 - 2 weeks before they come on line make it a tougher sell.
excellent point about the $150 fee.
the ram and disk seem very cheap. I haven't seen raid-1 3TB and 16Gb ram in the states for anything less than $150+ a month.
They may be a good DR site.
Another perk is that incoming bandwidth is not tracked.
Damn, their VPS packages cost less then I'm paying for shared hosting at Dreamhost. Unfortunately, a cursory search shows mixed reviews. Have you used them personally?
Sorry for the late reply, but yes, I have used them. They are OK, you really do get what you pay for. I've had some trouble with their default Debian/Ubuntu images being messed up and my VPS has been suspiciously slow at times. Their support is prompt but they aren't willing to do much (which is fair as it is unmanaged).

I used it for about half a year. Never had any issue.
