Re: There ARE legitimate reasons out there, though
The idea strikes me as interesting for interim analytical use - I can't see this survive long as part of a fixed installation because I fear heat will reduce the life of this quite substantially.
I agree. The fairly low power ARM has limited grunt for anything serious, but I could see some use as something like a temporary ntp server or ERSPAN (or netflow) collector.
You're not wrong about the heat, i seem to recall that the article I read elsewhere said it got rather hot after a while.
