All, I got to say is, go with them if you are looking for a dedicated server.

Andy you've not even got your sites on their server yet, you can't base recommendations on their service so far when you've been signed up less that 12 hours...you are a new customer, they want your money...give it a few months and then you can probably give a fair recommendation.

I'm always dubious of any company that offers high spec servers for cheap prices...

On their main page they advertise:

Intel Celeron 1.3GHz
512MB RAM
256k OBC - 100MHz FSB
60GB 7200RPM Hard Drive
400GB Monthly Transfer

....for $99. Why do you think Gossamer-Threads and other established companies are charging several hundred dollars for a server with that spec?....it is because they are sensible businesses who wish to gain a good reputation and keep customers for the long term...they don't want to earn as much money as possible in the short term and then go bust when they realise they can't afford to run their business on the prices they charge.

Would you even know how to check the spec of your server to make sure you are getting what you paid for?

400GB/month....thats like 99 / 400 = 0.25 per GB ....do you think they are making profit on that?....I doubt it.....thats not even including the Plesk license, hardware etc.
