Everybody, In my case I used a RPi as an additional DC for a month or so while making some Samba4 AD improvements to the main DC's. My main DC's run on some nanopc Intel J1800 (cpu) based fanless (about 5" x 5" x 2") box's that by spec sheet draws a maximum of 15W to run on full load. As a DC they never run on full load. These boxes are actually designed to be run 24/7 as firewall device, PfSense, OPNsense, Untangle, etc. I found a manufac...

They're a ton of fun to tinker with too. I am also an old guy and didn't want to use the Rpi for this purpose. However, many years
