We must also take one more think in calculation, GPUs usually have 3 year warranty on them, this Acorns cost some nice money but question is will they ROI themselves in time before they die?
I can go to may local store to return GPU but for Acorn I don't know how much warranty I have and where to ship it if it start acting weird or die competently.
With 24/7 operation that is something that must be taken into account.
ps. Can someone tell me the difference between their shipping methods?
