I have a few HPE gen 8 blade servers with lightly bent plastic/metal if you want them. I think I have 96gb ram for it laying around too.

I have to get my household moved first. That's rolling along nicely. Tonight is the first time I looked at colocation costs vs. cloud hosting. I was shocked to see I'd likely break even aside from hardware. Compute heavy sucks on the cloud.
I’ve got a colo like 10 mins from me, I regularly run the calc and it always kinda makes sense. Convinence trade off mostly to me.
That's the other issue. I'll have to outsource setup. Could possibly see spending sats on someone who lives near a DC in the future. ;)
Happy to! I do lightweight msp work on the side, remotehands is simple enough. I may even be able to custody the machine myself if something I’m working on works out.
