At Codethink we've had good experiences with using NVIDIA Jetson developer boards as build machines. Much better experience than we've had with "server-class" ARM hardware in fact. I have one on my desk that builds all the Baserock reference systems for ARM on every new commit. Uptime is currently 19 days but I've seen them go for months with no noticable instability, and they are pretty fast (slower than x86 for building, obviously, but not painfully so). The product page is: https://developer.nvidia.com/jetson-tk1 The Jetson is also cool because you can get 3D (EGL) working with the open source Nouveau driver. We showed Weston running on a last year on a Jetson with no binary blobs, I'm not sure if anyone's tried Mutter/Gnome-Shell but presumably it's a similar amount of effort.
