You say you cracked it 75% of the way through your password list so I'm wondering whether you just got lucky on your first set of generated passwords and planned to throw more hardware at the problem if that had failed.
I just got lucky that it was in my first set of generated passwords so I didn't need to buy the PCs.
My initial list was a few thousand passwords with all the rules.
Even at 1H/second that's still easily 50,000 attempts in a 24 hr period which is not bad if you get lucky and happened to use some variation of a common password (I opened up my google chrome auto saved password and unlocked every "word" and every "symbol / number" combination that I used back then and used that to help me generate a list).
To make the rules I used the rule wiki guide mostly and looked on here in the forums plus asked in the discord.
