Talk about diminishing returns on time invested in applying a thermal pad(10 minutes?) but then continue talking about spending time building a linux box in a closet instead. :SMH: Some people choose laptops over building linux boxes in closets for a reason. I can't take my closet PC with me on a train or a coffee shop. Then there's the issue with space. If you live in a small European apartment like I do, then I have no closet, so no extra space just for a separate PC out of sight. Then I would still need a laptop for SSH into it anyway, that closet PC won't replace it.
