I tend to buy server level hardware for my own usage. It tends to last a LOT longer. With that in mind, it was roughly comparable to what I would have paid for a comparable Intel Xeon, and I like the fact that I know all of the code that runs on it (the only code that I can't actually change is the OTP memory that it first executes when it boots up, and even then you can inspect it!).
- Avamander 7y agoThanks for supporting the development of open hardware and software. Very few of us can afford to do so.
