I said they were 12 2TB drives in relation to another answer. 2 quad dual cores are also expensive. So are 10Gb nics, put it all together with 1hr onsite dell warranty from dell and it becomes something quite extra-ordinarily expensive, like you are realising. Offer in 40TB of bandwidth/mo on premium pipes, served by 512 impossible-to-get IPs and well it's out of your range.
Strange though how I'm managing one (minus the 512 IPs) and can see the massive difference in bandwidth throughput between a server in the same DC and the storage server in the dedicated DC. It's all in my imagination, because you say it isn't possible.

welcome to the big boy DCs... don't expect any support as far as "can you add a new site to my box" or "my mysql crashed and I don't know why". If there's a hardware problem, they will fix it in under 1 hr or your month's hosting fees back. Anything else, you can pay me to manage it ;)
