I’ve got space to keep this baby out of the way, so the noise problem is a non-issue, and we have residential solar panels installed which significantly mitigates our utility costs, so I’m in a situation where those factors—while still significant—aren’t as big an issue for me atm.
Like I said, nostalgia was an admittedly outsized factor in my decision making process, and I’m fully cognizant of the limitations of this rig, even with significant upgrades, but as a starting point, and with my current planned uses for it, I’m feeling fairly happy with my decision.
