I have a lot fewer racks than you but the same issue, especially when it comes to laptops. Let's see......Mac, Surface, Thinkpad, Dell, etc......

And if you want to learn the hardware you often need a lot to really get
into it enough to be even approach becoming an expert.

-Jim has so much stuff his stairway nearly collapsed bring down a UPS
big enough to power it all.
-Pete had 0595s holding up tables in his lobby and tape drives on
shelves in the bathroom before he moved.
-I have 5 IBM Racks full in my garage plus one live one in the basement.

You need a very tolerant spouse!

Ditto the responses of Larry and Henrik. Unless you plan on needing to
learn the hardware aspects of IBM i, your time and money is much better
spent getting an instance in the cloud.
