Anyways I am planning something similar. I got an ASUS Prime N100I-D D4 (which is basically the same part but in a slightly larger form factor and a BIOS that lets me configure the TDP much much higher) that got replaced as HTPC by an Odroid C5. I am planning to use this as a small server that wakes up once during the night and collects various backups in my network, then compresses them and uploads them in small chunks to my Nextcloud.
