Softlayer is a lot more expensive than most hosts these days. They're closer to being in Rackspace territory now.
You can get a dual E5-2609 with 32gb of ram + bandwidth from a good host like WebNX for $369 / month.
And if you wanted to spend $1k per month, you can get a dual e5-2687W (16 cores @ 3.1ghz) with 128gb ram; with a 4x SAS RAID 10, plus a 120gb ssd drive, plus a 2tb backup freebie, plus 100mbps unmetered bandwidth (30tb). That literally blows the doors off Softlayer.

- shingen 15y agoDouche much? Looking over your comments on HN, that latest comment seems to be the peak of your contribution here. In over two years you've picked up 394 karma points. I'm going with the assumption that all of those karma points are from being a pedant about the English language. You're such a valuable member of this community! Rock on.

- jemfinch 15y agoWhich of your 98 days here qualifies you to assess the peak of someone's contribution over a span of two years?

- cperciva 15y agoWe don't need HN to turn into reddit, and we don't need it to turn into slashdot with its small-uid-envy either.
