I like the concept but it seems rather spendy given

* very limited RAM (is it upgradeable?)
* DDR4 RAM
* 8 year old CPU model

Also,

* fans
* 1U, so the fans will be loud

FWIW I upgraded my APU2s with PCIe adapter boards to host NVMe storage. Definitely worth doing. I believe if you have a model with 3 or fewer Ethernet interfaces you can have 2x NVMe per machine too
