And if you went with reserved instances, what does it come out to? I guess that it is fair to assume that you will need at least this level of compute power for at least a year, right?

No idea. Generally reserved instances will give you 30-75% off though, I believe.

This is for a hobby project, so no way I'm committing to that, haha.

I'm also building the architecture so that I can easily completely destroy it and restore it from backups very quickly.

So, depending what I do with it, may be destroying it regularly and just bringing online when I want it.
