Converting a price from a Polish shop: 65 USD.  Converting a price from

buy them and from where.

An i.MX6 or Tegra SoC, many cores, much RAM, big and fast storage, some
reliable network.  This should be a Parabola ARM target.  (Offtopic: I
can buy several Wandboard Quads for the price of a Novena board.)

+ build logs.

Add the price of a sufficient UPS, check if that bandwidth is
sufficient.
