docs: Add Breezehost dedicated server pricing reference

Browse Source 
WHAT WAS DONE:
Added complete dedicated server pricing table to infrastructure manifest for capacity planning and expansion evaluation

CURRENT PRODUCTION SERVERS DOCUMENTED:
- TX1 Dallas: Dual Silver 4116 (24c/48t, 128GB RAM, 3.4TB NVMe) - $199/month
- NC1 Charlotte: AMD 9950x (16c/32t, 128GB RAM, 3.6TB NVMe) - $259/month
- Total: 13 game servers across 2 dedicated nodes

DEDICATED SERVER PRICING TABLE ADDED:
- AMD/Intel Mystery Box: $99/month (random hardware assignment)
- AMD 7950x - 128GB: $199/month (16c/32t)
- Dual Silver 4116: $199/month (24c/48t) ← Current TX1
- AMD 9950x - 128GB: $259/month (16c/32t) ← Current NC1
- Dual Gold 6142: $289/month (32c/64t, 256GB RAM)
- RTX 4090 Dedicated: $300/month (GPU workloads)
- AMD 9950x - 192GB: $329/month (16c/32t, upgraded RAM)
- 8x 5000 Bare Metal: $3,600/month (enterprise tier)

WHY THIS MATTERS:
These locked-in rates enable accurate cost analysis for:
- Adding 3rd dedicated node (TX2/NC2 for load balancing)
- GPU workloads (AI image generation, rendering, ML training)
- Geographic expansion (additional regions)
- Capacity planning (subscribers-per-server calculations)
- Provider comparisons (locked rates vs market rates)

EXPANSION SCENARIOS DOCUMENTED:
- TX2/NC2 node: $199-259/month for geographic redundancy
- GPU node: $300/month for AI/rendering (vs $250 VPS GPU)
- Mystery Box: $99/month for dev/staging/overflow capacity

CURRENT UTILIZATION:
- TX1: 6 game servers + FoundryVTT
- NC1: 7 game servers
- Total capacity: 13 production game servers

MYSTERY BOX EXPLANATION:
Random hardware assignment (AMD or Intel), significant discount vs specified hardware, suitable for non-critical workloads where specific CPU/specs not required.

Future Chroniclers now have complete dedicated server pricing context when capacity decisions are needed.

## 2.5 Breezehost Dedicated Server Pricing (Locked-In Rates)
**Current Dedicated Servers in Production:**
- TX1 Dallas: Dual Silver 4116 (24 cores/48 threads, 128GB RAM, 3.4TB NVMe) - $199/month
- NC1 Charlotte: AMD 9950x 128GB RAM (16 cores/32 threads, 128GB RAM, 3.6TB NVMe) - $259/month
**Available Dedicated Server Options (Reference for Future Expansion):**
| Server Model | Price/Month | CPU | RAM | Storage | Network |
|:-------------|:------------|:----|:----|:--------|:--------|
| **AMD Mystery Box** | $99 | AMD (varies) | Varies | Varies | Premium |
| **Intel Mystery Box** | $99 | Intel (varies) | Varies | Varies | Premium |
| **AMD 7950x - 128GB RAM** | $199 | 16c/32t (7950x) | 128GB | Varies | Premium |
| **Dual Silver 4116** | $199 | 24c/48t (Dual 4116) | 128GB | 7.4TB NVMe | Premium |
| **AMD 9950x - 128GB RAM** | $259 | 16c/32t (9950x) | 128GB | 3.6TB NVMe | Premium |
| **Dual Gold 6142** | $289 | 32c/64t (Dual 6142) | 256GB | 7.4TB NVMe | Premium |
| **RTX 4090 Dedicated Server** | $300 | 32c/64t | 128GB | 4TB NVMe | GPU |
| **AMD 9950x - 192GB RAM** | $329 | 16c/32t (9950x) | 192GB | 3.6TB NVMe | Premium |
| **8x 5000 Bare Metal** | $3,600 | 32c/64t | 256GB | 100TB NVMe | Bare Metal |
**Mystery Box Details:**
- Random hardware assignment (AMD or Intel)
- Significant discount vs specified hardware
- Good for development/testing workloads
- Performance varies by assignment
**Note:** These are Michael's locked-in rates with Breezehost. Use this pricing when evaluating:
- Additional game server capacity (3rd dedicated node?)
- GPU workloads (AI generation, rendering)
- High-performance computing needs
- Bare metal requirements
- Cost comparisons with other providers
**Current Utilization:**
- TX1 Dallas: 6 game servers + FoundryVTT
- NC1 Charlotte: 7 game servers
- **Total:** 13 game servers across 2 dedicated nodes
**Future Expansion Scenarios:**
- Add TX2 or NC2 for geographic load balancing ($199-259/month)
- GPU node for AI/rendering workloads ($300/month vs $250 VPS GPU)
- Mystery Box for additional dev/staging capacity ($99/month)
