Not sure why I'd need a dedicated hardware. I think I'd probably rather have two VMs at €5 or €10 each a month, than one high-powered machine at the same price. It would be handy to have another shell I can run back up to, run unattended downloads on and so forth when I'm on a flakey connection (and then pop the download into my Google Drive). PS: can anyone explain how the Amazon web services work, please? I have the impression they're charged by usage and can be very cheap. But it's not clear to me if you can use AWS just like a regular Linux cloud server.
