If your after cheap data center grunt, there are specials each month at https://www.oplink.net/dedicated.html
Note the discount coupon. Specials I think change each month.
There are Texas based ceter, and dont have remote ipmi support. (IPMI allows remote os load, bios tweaks, power cycles etc)
They do have remote power down, reset but no IPMI.
This is as cheap as many VM, and there is no way I recommend a VM to run GSB on. A VM will be slow and poor bang for buck.
For trading I recommend steadfast.net Support levels are very good.
Co-location for a 1u is about $100 a month.
You can buy a supermicro from icc-usa.com and get it sent to Stredfast.
A xeon can be 1u, have ipmi etc.
For raw cpu grunt at home / office for processing / system building a fast i7 or the new amd is best bang for buck.
Would not recommend a laptop of any sort if you want CPU grand and or ram.

I use Continuum data center... CME response times are less than a millisecond and a half/rack is only $400/mth...
That said, will GSB run on VMs? I found it doesn't. I tried to spin up some Amazon Server and I got an error message saying this app won't run on
VMs...?admin - 24-8-2017 at 06:49 PM
I strongly don't recommend GSB on VM. First of all they are very slow as the CPU is oversold. One VM supplier said there were something like 100 users
on his dual xpu xeon. The only uses with GSB stability issues are those who run windows server 2012? and or on VM.
I stopped my GSB after 13 days straight running.
1ms is good. Steadfast is way cheaper and gives 1ms to TS servers, but over 10 ms to the exchanges.
On this topic, often execution methods makes these savings in data center traffic pointless. heyligerb - 25-8-2017 at 09:39 AM
agreed on all points!
