Thanks - I've been thinking on and off about using mini-ITX-type cases to
house much smaller servers and more power-efficient desktop stuff rather
than the big old whitebox dual-Athlon thats my current house server. The
TuringPi setup is interesting, but very much overkill for what I need if/
when the dual Athlon goes bang.

Currently it looks like a single RPi 4 or a plain mini-ITX system would
fit my requirements rather better.
