I have not done this myself. But it might be worth your while to look into options like Linode to rent out some cloud time.
Lower TCO and lower setup time.

My MythTV days are over, but I'd ideally like an aarch64 client that can run on a Raspberry Pi, incase I ever poke at Kodi. What server hardware would people advise that fulfils: * low running cost (it's my electricity bill!) * fairly cheap to buy (own budget) * if I'm buying a cased 'nuc' type thing, it must be able to fit in a 3.5" SATA drive (as I have some old ones that fell off the back of a rack) * not full of screaming fans Given it's not planned for production use 24/7 I don't care about HA with multi-tailed drives, but would quite like the ability to add more OSSs as required. Cable sprawl / mounting isn't that much of an issue, providing it can live in the shed Any suggestions?
