Interesting idea, freebie hardware with paid support. Similar to MySql arrangement but for hardware. It's the actual terms that just don't seem attractive. $

Interesting idea, freebie hardware with paid support. Similar to MySql arrangement but for hardware. It's the actual terms that just don't seem attractive. $3k support contract on what is practically an embedded device? I could see paying some money for support on a cluster of these to do something interesting, like distributed data acquisition nodes maybe? But not to the tune of 3,000 per node.
