The jest part about Protectli is the Coreboot and they provide instructions to compile your own, so it even feels open.
That said, fully configured with RAM and storage mine cost roughly £600.
Given electricity prices in the UK, and my requirement for an as-open-as-possible software stack, it was well worth it. If it outlasts the EdgeRouter it replaced (7yrs before power circuitry died) I'll be very happy.
That said, my main concern, as a reply to you pointed out, is that I'll want more than Gigabit in that time; my street is getting 10Gb/10Gb in the next couple of years.
