Greetings:

Getting close to maybe considering thinking about co-locating our own
server, and I'm looking for advice on hardware. 

Cost is a very important consideration, and it is understood that
bulllet-proof reliability  and blinding speed will be compromised, but
looking for that happy medium somewhere in between.

Any advice?

Currently serving up 120,000 hits and 1 GB of traffic on a good day,
and expecting to easily double or triple in the next year, but
underfunded is an understatement. Would prefer to purchase rather than
lease, but leasing is an option.

What machine(s) will fill the bill? Reconditioned is a viable option
since this next step looks like a 1 year solution, and a year from now
we'll be rolling in dough :-)

Any advice is appreciated.

Many thanks,
Eric Dauster
