I'm curious why you think it's not a good idea to buy more recent hardware to learn! Is it because these devices have a tendency to fail? Or setting them up is hard?
You are totally right that it could be a fun week-end project before shelling a couple of Ks on this.

I think most common "issues" new miners have is:
  • This thing is loud
  • My house is now 95 degrees
  • Not understanding power draw of a miner.
