<p dir="ltr">Around $18 monthly would cover the cost of hosting costs for everything on <a href="http://gdcproject.org">gdcproject.org</a>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
