With 16gb ram and a basic 2tb SATA ssd, people might give you $200-250 for them, maybe. Marketing then as Bitcoin nodes and offering to help get them set up with a little bit of your time would likely earn you your profit margin, rather than the hardware itself.

Good to know! Very good idea, Iām certainly willing to spend some time with the onboarding. That amount seems higher than what I was expecting with this level hardware, but with the setup process, that makes sens.
I should specify, I am not looking for profit so much as a sense of what people would see as a reasonable investment on their part to get started with a bitcoin & lightning node and a personal server.
"Profit" aside, you should cover your costs and your time adequately when helping others so that you can do it well and often.

Yeah, I just pass the hw cost along at cost & charge for my time. Much easier to be transparent about pricing & intention.
