I was very surprised with the price as well. The best package I could 
find in the US was with a company called Server Beach (a Peer1 company). 
And in Germany I found Hetzner. Check out these specs and prices:

Server Beach Specs:
1 x QuadCore
1 x 250gb drive
2 gb RAM
10mbps port (2T capped)
For: $99/mo ($0 setup)

Hetzner Specs:
1 x Intel Core i7 920 (Quad Core + HT)
2 x 750gb drive (software raid 1)
8 gb RAM
100mbps port (2T capped, 10mbps after the first 2T)
For: $65/mo ($200 setup)
