We'd charge you $199 / month for 5U of space, whatever you want to do with it. That's 2 2U boxes plus a 250VA 1U APC (just long enough for the generator to kick in...ahh...). My thinking is that if you have a website that demands that much power, you should be making enough money to support the hardware and colo costs. If that's not the case then there's something wrong with your business model.
