I like the concept and I've seen a couple do this (in fact, I'm looking at an Aussie company that does this: http://www.distributeit.com.au/dedicatedservers.html). But I'm hard to press that OVH will do this as it wouldn't be cost effective for their already low prices, plus having to dedicate rackspace specifically for RTO servers - their co-lo centres don't look that big so I'm not sure how OVH would implement this without having to pass the buck...

Is this something ovh could look at maybe doing.
Make the server a lil more expensive then after 12 months the client then gets to keep the server,take it home smash it with a hammer,keep it housed at ovh were then the client just pays the bw
