I have been looking at all the options available to me, and would like
to thank everyone here for all the help and suggestions. I really like
the Sheffield colo facility, and I would love to build a server to put
in there.

I think in the immediate future I am going to go with the Bytemark
solution as it is located in a data centre and they do give a lot of
bandwidth. I need something reasonably quickly too.

Longer term I would really like to build a server and put it in the
Sheffield colo - once I have the Bytemark server paying for itself. It
is the 4Mbps link that makes me worry a little - it doesn't seem much in
this broadband world we are living in :)

Thanks to everyone for all the help and suggestions though - it is very
much appreciated. Hopefully the Bytemark machine should prove powerful
enough for my needs...
