They actually build a nice 10,000 sq foot data center (centre) almost 
how you described how one should be.

Big plus for us is that I live 4 blocks away from their newest one 
here in Sacramento, CA. Downtown is great. ;)

As far as a colocation facility goes, I'd recommend them. Their 
prices came out on par with Above.net and Exodus and.. well, 
everybody is cheaper than UUnet..
