I was just looking at the start9. Not really for me. Like myNode and others its just a raspberry pi in a case.
So if you already have a pi, here's the do it yourself guide: https://docs.start9.com/latest/diy
Here's the OS to manually install it: https://store.start9.com/products/embassy-one
I don't want to use a pi in my set up because look at how cheap an actual computer is if you dig around a little: https://www.newegg.com/hp-prodesk-600-g2-business-desktops-workstations/p/N82E16883997341?Item=9SIAKDCDD83106
check out https://pleb.parts if you're in the states and they're even less expensive. ;)

Ohhh yeah but those are Dell Optiplexes. Those things overheat really bad. If I knew they fixed the ventilation in it or just fixed the cooling issue with it in general I'd consider it.

hrmm... ive been servicing optiplexes for over a decade any never had an issue myself. i do recall an older generation of the ultra small form factor models which shipped with a bios that caused the chassis fan to stop and thus thermal shutdown. i wouldn't trust an hp workstation if my business depended on it.
there's a reason why hp is cheaper.
