Best option* for running your own bitcoin full node:

* Used bare-bones used ThinkPad w/8GB RAM
* Replace ssd w/cheap 2TB nvme
* Run it as some flavor of linux

For $220 you have a solid enough machine WITH a screen, a keyboard, and -- super-important -- a BATTERY (y'all underestimate what a power outage can do to your Raspi).

Has enough storage onboard to not have to prune blocks. And enough RAM(?) to run more intense services like a Lightning node.

In other words: @npub1pfezegswrn8lpt0aerp2hvyhj4lsuzln9kcccs5p7qch2m2sawxsxcelvf is right!
