I just use them as cheap machines with mimimal power consumption, that I can leave running even when more powerful machines are shut down. My openvpn endpoint is one such case (it also runs a DNS server). I don't need much storage, but I want it to be fairly reliable, and be sure I can replace it quickly if required. Importing a specialist DOM from overseas is not quick; buying a usb stick (from the supermarket or service station if need be) is :-) These things only cost me NZ$20 each (for 5) - and an added bonus is that the old atom (N280) cpu is not vulnerable to meltdown :-) Richard
