What sort of bandwidth are we talking about being included in the price 
of $175/mo?  I'm part of a gaming clan, and we run stats for 6 source 
engine games on our web VPS, and they are always pissed at us for eating 
tons of CPU.  I'd have to get in contact with our founder or the SQL guy 
(both have root access to the VPS, which I don't) to figure out how much 
bandwidth we use in a month, but the extra $80/mo might be worth the CPU 
we would be able to use on a dedicated box.
