Dedicated hosting on the Cheap

I am currently with http://www.ixwebhosting.com/ for my simple site www.ddkonline.com - who offer some very good value plans (e.g 300GB of storage, 1500 GB bandwidth for about $10 AUD per month). However, they have been promising to move to ASP.NET 2.0 for months with no result. With a mind to moving to a dedicated server, I happened upon http://tips4hosting.blogspot.com/2007/04/cheapest-dedicated-servers.html with some of the cheapest (unmanaged) dedicated servers around. However, the price increase (approx 15x) for a similar spec is a bit to steep to justify the benefits of a dedicated box. Looks like I'll just have to move providers - or encourage the current provider to move into the 20th century!
