Yeah, agreed there Al.

Alternatively you (Jon) could do what I do and build your own: it's no
cheaper and no more reliable but it's fun, there's a sense of
achievement and you've no one but yourself to blame if/when it goes

There are some nice Shuttle barebones machines about if you think small

something bigger.
