But there is always OpenNAS and the like. On the other hand I had been

Since mine has no video output, there's not the sort of workload that
generates a lot of heat.
I imagine if you phoned around, you might eventually get a hold of one.
Mind, it's not the specific product that is important - it's the tech in
general: cheap ARM-powered computers that run cool, quietly, with cheap
uptime. Now Linux can run nearly anywhere, and do a lot of stuff that
that would have been cost-prohibitive just 5 years ago.
