Nehalem servers out for renting
Starting at $299 a month
Softlayer, a company that is in the server renting business, has got a nice lineup or Nehalem based servers and they are already available. This server renting company is known for being one of the first to get new hardware in stock.
The cheapest one is Intel Xeon Nehalem 5504, 2GHz quad-core with FSB800MHZ 4MB L3 cache and 3GB DDR3 ECC memory. The runner up is Xeon Nehalem 5520 2.26GHz quad-core with HT1066, 8MB cache and 3GB DDR while for $399 you will get a 2.66GHz clocked Xeon 5550.
Top of the offer is currently Xeon Nehalem 5570 quad-core with a 2.93GHz clock, HT 1333MHz 1MB L3 cache and 3GB DDR3 memory and it will set you down for at least $499. This is the price without some necessary features and hard drives, so you can expect the final bill to be even higher.
You can find them here and they are available as we speak, so if you need one, you can get it.
