I need to have a look at second hand laptops. Sure, a minipc would do as well, but a laptop has a keyboard and screen. I'm not confident with a headless thing.
Carlos you could do as well with a Raspeberry Pi Model 3.
Headless is not an issue for your skill level. You can plug in any mouse and keyboard and microsd card from your junk drawer, and any HDMI monitor/TV for setup.
I don't have spare keyboard/display, they are on a different table, and difficult to move.
Since all your storage seems based on USB externals you could use them unchanged.
You'd probably save enough electricity to pay for the RPi.
Yes, that's true.
It would probably be faster too.
Very possible. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
