Kinda. I’m still running an intel i7 with 8GB ram. I wouldn’t exactly call it an old Kia. It’s not a gaming PC after all. It’s still a server.
I totally agree that you offer good hardware and warranty and support for a decent price.
I like that you provide the path for dyi people like myself. But if people just want the hardware. You can find comparable for less $. Again only comparing hardware-to-hardware and leaving out service and support.

i7 which generation? 2019?
i don't think they are in the business of selling old hardware. that's why you go to a pawn shop or buy on ebay, actually there's a heap of "refurbished" gear on amazon too. i doubt they have the time to deal with the headache of all that stuff when their product is the service and the OS and apps you can put on it.
don't need to pay to use it either, so that's a benefit to anyone and everyone who wants to use start9.
it's really an apples and oranges comparison. i have a HP G3 mini that works great for running stuff that cost me like 140 euros plus 200 for a 1tb SSD, but i don't need support or a warranty. i'm not even using the machine anyway. i wouldn't run start9 either because i build server software for a living. I'M the support :)
