I'm looking for:

* Linux VPS (prefer KVM)

* SSD

* Data center in Chicago or near Chicago

* Pricing similar to Lindoe/DigitalOcean: $20/month for 2 cores and 2 GB RAM

Linode and DigitalOcean are great, but they don't offer locations in Chicago. The closest is Linode with DC in Dallas.

I've had good experience with SoftSysHosting.com with a Windows box, but they don't offer SSD.

Suggestions welcome.
