Brand New ODroid Single Board Computer
As someone who is definitely layman in the area, can somebody break it down to me why would people choose an RPi, ODroid, OrangePi or any other small and fanless computers for this or that scenario?I am very interested in making a home NAS, a Pi-Hole, an OpenVPN server and possibly a VM host -- what are my options if I want a few servers in my bedroom with zero fan noise (even during the summer when the room temperature can be at 35-40 Celsius)? Or should I just sacrifice one floor of shelf space in my small storage room and make sure the machines have good fan cooling?I've been meaning to inform myself on the subject but real life and job changes have been very annoying and I was recently shocked by the memory that "I've been meaning to do it" for like 2 years now.So can somebody give a layman a few pros and cons of our options?(I will definitely use Ethernet on all my home servers. Not interested in how good -- or existent -- their WiFi adapters are. It would even be a bonus for me if I can physically turn off the WiFi on them.)
