Remember that the choice isn't simply between AWS and racking your own gear. You can make big savings by just renting Linux servers from hetzner or similar. They install and repair the HW, you get ssh access just like with a cloud VM. You just have to make sure to monitor it so if there's a failure you can file a ticket to get components swapped out.
