##### I am on a really tight budget, what can I do?
You can build a useful ARTIQ system and spend very little money by running the open-source code on mass-produced low-cost electronics that were not made for this purpose. For example, in theory the [Colorlight-75E](https://hackaday.com/2020/01/24/new-part-day-led-driver-is-fpga-dev-board-in-disguise/) and [EBAZ4205](https://github.com/xjtuecho/EBAZ4205) can be used as core devices, and the Taobao shop [ZONRI](https://world.taobao.com/dianpu/73267337.htm) sells many inexpensive boards that can be useful as I/O peripherals such as DDS and data converters.
This is not a turn-key solution; experience with electronics, FPGA, and software development is required, and you will have to spend some time studying the code, porting it to these boards, writing drivers, and building hardware adapters.
##### What are your payment terms?
For most established institutions (determined at our discretion), we offer Net 15 and Net 30 terms after delivery. Please enquire from your institutional email address to help us determine your eligibility for these terms.
