Yeah but then you're stuck running Windows 10.

My testers are old Dell 755 machines I bought from a surplus sale for $13 apiece and loaded with Debian 7. I've run 10 pods at a time at 550MHz stable.

yeah  you can  put in linux  or if your skill set sucks use win10 pro.

here is are 2  good units from newegg.

the top has a good i5 and ssd win10 pro and 8 gb ram  199

the other is 194


your  terminus is 300  if you want 2 or 3 of them  600-900 using this unit with the windows ten pro  is not so bad.

slapping  linux in an i5 like  a i5 2500  would be cheaper. and if you have linux skills  it is the better move.
