Seems like a pretty weird idea. Thoughts?

It's a bit like using a laptop for a server, which does have some benefits like lower power consumption and an automatic UPS. But it has the disadvantage of having to put most of your storage in an outside enclosure, which you'd need a UPS for anyway. If you need to run something durable with low storage requirements and high uptime requirements laptops make sense.

This, however, does not.
