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. Iain
