Opening 1 #Lightning channel per month, or week is not hard.

And in a few months you'll have a viable node running.

you'll node month, per viable months have or channel week Opening is not running. a hard.

And 1 a in #Lightning few

What hardware u you for open lightning and how many budget

I'd say a Quad core x86 minimum & 2 or 4 TB SSD. Not a PI anymore, and most importantly for #Lightning, a UPS!

If you want just a personal node then whatever you calculate you could need, maybe start with .01 or .02 of a #Bitcoin.

If attempting a small routing node, then plan 1.5+ #Bitcoin min to start.

Wait... Is there a reason to have a ton of channels open and not just one fat one?

For personal spending use 1 big channel is fine with maybe a 2nd channel as backup. It's more if you want to try out some routing and increase decentralization of #Lightning.

One fat one won't allow you to route.
