Layeredtech.com will be as cheap as you can go assuming you can manage it yourself.

holy sh1t that's way too much! ($89/mo). Goddamn all I want is a ridiculously fast connection with which to serve pages. Is there any other way?

You sound entirely like you don't know what you really need

If you are serving pages why do you need a dedicated machine? A shared hosting account should be more than enough for most websites.

Agreed. My server is colocated (I do a LOT more than serve pages) and the highest cost is the bandwidth. You'd be better off just getting a hosting account.

Good luck with actually trying to use the server

well I just want a machine that I can install anything I want on like a jabber server or a half-life server or whatever

Perhaps a VPS would be a good choice for you then. They're not going to have the power to run Half-Life, but you get full root access so you can install things like Jabber servers (Jive-Messenger is a great Jabber sever BTW). In the VPS arena, I've had great luck with www.linode.com

What's your budget?

Don't reply with $30 or anything less, it isn't going to happen.

Why don't you just use your own machine and just buy the bandwidth you need?

I had good luck with serverpronto.com ... and they have a package for like $30. They have EMAIL Support only but I had them for a good year or two with no problems. The catch? Most of their IP blocks are blacklisted ... so don't plan on using it for a mail server. Other than that its decent.
