It's interesting - when you get up into that size of hard drive, they 
start to converge - ie serverbeach.com has
a

2 X AMD Athlon MP 2600 Processor
2GB Registered PC2100 Memory
2 X 80 GB Hard Drive
2000 GB Bandwidth

for $219/US

but what I don't seem to see are cheap lower end systems in Canada, that 
$79/US/mo price is for a

1GHz AMD Processor
512MB Memory
60 GB Hard Drive
900 GB Bandwidth

oops, there's one in Alberta that has a 40GB hd, 20GB bandwidth for 
$119/US/mo but it's Windows
only :-(
