If you had the choice between running a premium node as a DIY on a PC of choice (no SBC, Pi, RockPro, I dont want to go down that path unless you can convince me) that you already own versus purchasing a finished product plug n play node, which would you do?

So far I have tried MyNode, Umbrel and Start9 on basic PCs and high end PCs. All 3 are great and I lean towards Umbrel for practicality and robustness in terms of using the same PC for being a file server too.

I am very tempted to just go ahead and purchase a Ronin Dojo Tanto with BTC and have a separate basic PC as a file server.

It just seems running a node with extra features on a PC makes it sweat too much unless its a gaming PC.

Yes I could purchase a Pi and DIY, but when spending that money and effort, what are the cons of spending slightly more for something like the Ronin Dojo Tanto?

zaps for valuable feedback.
