| Looking For a Dedicated Server
I wanted to rent a dedicated server box where I can host multiple game servers (of my choice).
Looking to spend around $100/month.
10Mbps upload and unlimited bandwidth would be nice since I am planning on hosting at least 3 servers.
Link me up!
Most links I already checked out are either not located in the US, they're way out of date, or are way too overpriced.

We're already paying close to $150 (Absinth's+Adolph's) and my extra $20/month for better upload speeds 
Also, if you looked at my forum, you would have seen that I wanted to rent a 100 tick private server which would then be an additional $40/month.

If not, and I still find a good deal, I still might go all in myself, but I highly doubt it. | |

The price or the config are not my problem, or at least not the main problem...
The main problem is commanding and controling the server box because I know nothing about linux  | |

I'm not sure where you'd need to go for something like that. I have a rack at Level 3 data center. My boss was kind enough to let me build a game server for myself and host it at the data center. I'm running server 2003 not linux so controlling it isn't an issue for me. But just to give you an idea of what kind of power you may need. My server is running an A64 3200+ (Venice) and i'm hosting a SINGLE 64 player BF2 server and when its full my CPU usage is around 80% and using 8 megabits of bandwidth.
I'm not so sure that $100 a month will get you the bandwidth AND a box powerfull enough to do what you're looking for.
