Yeah clearly not the optimal choice here, but I think it's enough for my use-case. The form factor is also something I can appreciate, as I move around quite a bit. When I'll get a more permanent home, I'll definitively take something more appropriate

I'd say the form factor, assuming a big USB disk attached, is less portable than a single box, but what ever works for you. But whatever works for you. Just trying to stop draw e-waste of Pis bought for the wrong job.

That's a perfectly valid concern, there's a lot of PIs out there that are dust collectors or paper weights unfortunately. You know what, If I can find an second-hand Optiplex or ThinkCentre for cheap maybe i'll use that instead!
