I took the liberty to change the subject for this arguably diverging 
question.

The web page you linked to has a photo of a board screwed onto a huuuge 
cooling plate.  That is alarming to me.

Here are my recommendations for hardware: 
https://wiki.debian.org/CheapServerBoxHardware

Requirements I list there are "includes case" and "fanless (in normal 
rooms, also on very hot days)" - I exclude also boards that are fanless 
only due to huge passive cooling, because I suspect that to affect price 
of delivery and therefore the total price of our users: A core 
requirement for Freedombox is that it is cheap (which I suspect is not 
crucial - only nice - for Openmediavault).
