These are small thin clients which have been donated from a bank to the 
local hacklab I partecipate in, and us buying a bunch of adapters and 
storage drives is less ideal than having stuff break.

My idea with them is to organize a workshop showing off what one can 
achieve with OpenBSD base and really poor hardware, ending with giving 
the PCs away to people who participate.

Individuals can then add more storage space if they want to, and it's 
definitely gonna be my recommendation.

If this was for a long term home lab your suggestion would be of course 
sensible. For something like this, I guess this botch is acceptable?
