I am not a service provider, I dont know LET rules about posting. I am only posting because I thought this was a great deal (for me). So if I am unknowingly breaking any LET rules, please excuse. It doesnt benefit me at all.
Link http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produkte_rootserver/st34 Hetzner: i7-3770 32 GB RAM 2x3TB 200Mbps for €34 (incl VAT) Extra IPs are €1 each.
I dont know public opinion about Hetzner (old hardware, etc), for me it is acceptable. I ordered 1 server yesterday and 1 more today. I actually need the disk space.. and I realize it might be overkill for most.. but its great for me.
Since VAT doesnt apply to me, my invoice automatically excludes VAT.. so for US$36 (no setup fee), this is excellent deal. (Only thing better would have been having same offer in US)
In my scenario, I prefer Raid-0 in CentOS 6.5. Sharing my steps for the rare person who needs the same:
STEP 1: Boot to rescue, delete old partitions and move to MBR to GPT
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1
sgdisk -R /dev/sdb /dev/sda
STEP 2: Boot to VNC, and perform a GUI based CentOS installation. Now CentOS can be used with Raid-0
