Bruh, have you never met a child? Hate is one of the first things kids learn.

This is self hosting... You're telling me you or one of your friends don't have a printer to print a case for less than a dollar? Shit, pay for shipping and I'll send you a case.
PC for 1/10 of the performance and reliability.
That's not my experience at all. I mean the other user already posted a PC you can buy for the same price as a pi. It's about as good as a 4, the 5 is 3x that speed.
See the problem now?
or some janky USB setup
TIL nvme is a janky USB setup

But if you actually check the numbers, that has pretty similar specs to the Pi4 but supports virtualization and has more ram. And the wyse runs on a real hard drive instead of an SD card or some janky USB setup.
But also general reply to that. Similar specs to the pi4, sure, but what about the 5 that is 3x as fast? It also has the same amount of RAM that the small 5 does. And by the way the link you posted, it runs off of an emmc drive... As in it's effectively an SD card... Just, embedded. (Hence the "e")
The raspberry pi, like all RISC chips, uses much less power.
In fact the super computer summit runs on powerpc64 which is a RISC chip, that's a big reason why its power consumption for a super computer is so low.
Yeah, a second hand old as shit hp, that'll die on you so quick. There's a reason that hp is selling for so cheap. HP is garbage, unless you're buying their actual servers...
Edit: also all the "cash grab" parts.. you probably already have those parts just lying around doing nothing.
Oh, so like... A worthless fucking machine... Sure. You use that. Let me know how many minutes that lasts, on your fucking Celeron lmao
And in any case, that's a used vs new ... Like.. bruh, their new ones start at 700... I can buy 14 pis for that...
I gave you an example of a $50 x86 PC
No you didn't. You gave an example of a >= 200 x86 PC... So, like... That's why I even suggested clustering. To match the cost of your claim.
Please learn to read. Again. I thought I wasn't on Reddit anymore.
$50 for a pi. Not for clustering. For one. That's it.
An X86 PC is gonna cost you hundreds. That's how I can cluster rpi, for the same cost. I hope you now know how to do basic math.
Pass, I'll take the cluster of raspberry pis for the same cost... For the purpose of self hosting my cluster is going to out perform your x86. Like why are you going to spend hundreds of dollars for an x86 that will do fine when you can spend $50 for a pi that will also do fine?
Then you can just cluster those pis and get redundancy
Just use raspberry pis and Linux. You'll have better support.
Point of order on the raspberry pi:
Here's your Debian https://raspi.debian.net/tested-images/
