I thought that was the default colocation setup -- you rent rackspace
for something like $30 per U per month, which includes some amount of
bandwidth. Then you pay for extra bandwidth a la carte.

If you ask around enough (and buy the right people drinks) you'll
eventually find someone who leases a full rack somewhere, and is
willing to let you buy in. You get a discount on what the datacenter
would charge you for a single space, and they get break on their
overhead.

Amen, brother. Although it would take nerves of steel to hand over my
shiny new 5TB sever to someone else.
