Letbox N4: 4 GB ram / 4 X5670 vcores @ 2.9 GHz / 20 GB NVMe / 2 TB storage / 15 TB xfer @ 2 Gbit/s
I picked this one up a couple daze ago, just now getting around to seeing what's up.
So far so good - thought I'd give a shout out to @key900 to say: Well played sir! Well played indeed.
Will post more notes as I gently probulate and configure over the next month or so (and this one will not be idling after that break-in period - it's going to be put to work)
heads up @cybertech - this one's clocking in at well over 9000! https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/15201231
Single-Core score Multi-Core score 3021 10717
first glance at the NVMe: 1 GB/s sustained write speed
I have not yet configured the block storage
nor have I checked the network (though my other letboxen have been consistently pretty zippy on the 1 Gbit/s ports)
base model (with 1 Gbit/s port and 256 GB instead of 2 TB block storage) may still be available for $5.51 monthly ($15 quarterly / $50 yearly!) https://my.letbox.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=115
I souped mine up with 2 TB block storage and 2 Gbit/s because yolo (I got plans for this one) - fully loaded, it comes out to $12.51 per month

I opted for Wishosting's 1.8TB box over the Letboxes since I cared more about the storage space & price than performance+storage+price but damn that looks like a killer deal.
Cheap dedis are my drug, and I'm too far gone to turn back.
It may be a great offer but I am not buying it. Literally, not as an expression....
Thanks for the feedback :-)
P.s base offer out of stock

@CamoYoshi indeed it is a deal aficionado's delight, and with the upgrades it ticks (most) all the boxes for my project - hence my rush to post a half-assed first draft of a review to let people here know.
@key900 has been doing this for a while - and has powered through some treacherous territory at Psychz LA (power outages etc bs) to come out the other side with A+B power and very nice storage offers. Now I'm getting a taste of the ram and CPU options too, plus the 2 Gbit/s port.
tl;dr: thanks @key900 for helping me get over @HostDoc withdrawals - you deserve some LESbian appreciation

Isn't it 2690v2? I'm eyeing N4 but have an existing with them due to expire in a few months
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
@cybertech thanks! you are correct, CPU is E5-2690 v2 (I was looking at my new freerangecloud jumphost which has the X5670, oopsies!)
EDIT: just noticed the
vmx
flag - mmmmm looks like nested virtualization's on the menu fellas!HS4LIFE (+ (* 3 4) (* 5 6))
That's some nice potassium indeed :-)

How the hell is this even possible? Power alone would run me more.

maybe Psychz owes @key900 a favor or two ...?
EDIT:
aha - and, limited stock ...
well I got mine (and you know the rest, Jack!)

@key900 has been bringing some great storage deals.
I scooped some time ago a 2cpu / 2GB / 20GB NVMe + 3TB block storage / 5TB @ 1Gbps for $7/m.
LetBox and HostHatch are my go to providers for storage offers. It's hard to find better offers.
Maybe i’m just lucky

Got this as well a couple of days ago... thought it was out of stock since the offer was over a week ago already. I Let go of my older 2 TB service since I don't need that much storage currently and need some firepower as well for some small projects testing [and maybe block storage upgrade in the future]. Good shit.
Just bought one and I am waiting to receive mail info vps

Fear if losing out.... works both ways
Buy = fear of losing money (summerhost) / hair (bad provider) / sleep (frau gets upset, off to the couch)...
No buy = fear of losing out on deal.
Edit: YOLO : You only live once. So might as well buy, but ..
