The prices on those boxes
Michael,
The challenge is device drivers for the video cards. Especially in
the PA-RISC case because there really is no documentation for them.
I've spent some time on the HP end of things and unfortunately was in
over my head pretty quickly.
Thanks,
Bryan

Neither does Alpha (AXP). Does anyone know if there are blockers in building

sorry, didn't know that. I always did run my HP hardware headless... so
I never noticed.
I always liked the CPU since

The only live architectures besides AMD64 are ARM and MIPS64 routers. I
have also heard of RISC-V and OpenRISK but have
Why is ARM not mentioned?
patrick@ seems to be doing a great job on this port. Bitrig is also a thing.
i.MX6 processor seem well supported and could easily run desktop stuff like HD
videos. I think ODROID-C1 run already, no? It's just $35 last time I checked.
Sabrelite is the standard for i.MX6,

If you install openbsd, then it won't be wintel. :)
Agreed, SPARC is your best bet for a non-x86 workstation with reasonable X
support. I have some older SGI hardware that runs OpenBSD but the X support is
hit and miss and certainly not as refined as the SPARC workstations I've tried.
I think the last SPARC workstations Sun made were the ultra 25

Gregory,
I'm a big fan / collector of non Wintel stuff and I run OpenBSD on it
all. I can tell you that the 64-bit SPARC stuff seems to be the best
fit for your use case in my experience. The downside is that a
desktop (or heaven forbid laptop) solution hasn't really been
manufactured for a whil
