> This repo is about designing a server that fits within the 1U space and 1A @ 120v power constraint while maximizing computing power, storage, and value.
For a $800 setup and $30-50/mo in colocation fees, I think this is a lot worse value overall than a lot of hosting providers, e.g. Hetzner provides servers that start at ~$36/mo with around 64GB RAM and 1TB storage.
Even if someone absolutely wanted to configure + provide their own hardware to colocate, you could probably put together a much nicer server for less by scavenging parts off of eBay.

Fun yes, but practical no.
