Around $18 monthly would cover the cost of hosting costs for everything on
gdcproject.org.

Saying that, I have been slowly collecting donations of hardware and having
a location to host the kit to be set-up as build/port boxes would be nice.
Currently have a PPC server, an ARM box, and an Epiphany board. In the next
months expecting a MIPS board and an IA-64 server.
