My server (3) bills totaled $1,100 month. So I jewed my host and got 3 new servers.
Dual Core Xeon 3050 - 2.13GHz, 4 gigs ram, 2-500 gig, and 8 class c's per box. Plus a $15 dollar discount because I ordered before the end of the year.
Total cost per box came out to $225 a month.
So now my bill is $675 a month ($5100 yearly saving) plus the new servers are 5x faster and brings 18% more PV/CTR. Yes, it was a pain to work through the holiday but with a savings of $5k going in your pocket it just made me smile with Christmas cheer!
