The newer winterfell nodes [1] have made their way to ebay at sub 100$ and do not have the exotic power requirements of the earlier dual sled windmill nodes. You can easily power them off of a converted server power supply via diy [2] or commercial [3] means. Windmill nodes have more space on the pcie riser and quieter fans going for them as well.

Oh nice, I think I have all the DIY power stuff already from my old ethereum mining farm. At $100 we're well into impulse buy territory.
