Nice to meet you. Generally speaking I think that a VM with a sufficient CPU and 4GB of RAM is not going to be cheaper, especially not in Switzerland. Also, VMs dont usually come with an IX port, so that's another thing I would miss out. Last but not least, I prefer to run stuff on owned/real hardware.
An APU2 seems perfect for my needs without breaking my budget. Got two offers so far which are promising, so just waiting a bit longer to collect some potential further offers.
Thank you anyways for your suggestions!

I know two or three potential places where you could have this, but a VM will be preferable, just not to clutter the rack space.

why not a virtual machine? It would be cheaper than placing a hardware box.

I am already familiar with BGP and am currently operating my primary location in Frankfurt, Germany. No SLA required, price should be as cheap as possible - I do not need any enterprise support or something like that. For people who don't know what a APU2 is, you can find more information here http://www.pcengines.ch/apu2.htm <http://www.pcengines.ch/apu2.htm> (the machine itself) and http://www.pcengines.ch/case1d2blku.htm <http://www.pcengines.ch/case1d2blku.htm> (the case, 17cmx16cmx3cm). I know that I am asking for a lot, but I thought if someone is able to offer something like that for a reasonable price which can be paid by an individual, I'll most likely find him/her on SwiNOG. If you have any offers or further questions, please reply to the mailinglist or directly contact me at ncc@snapserv.net <mailto:ncc@snapserv.net>.
