Average based on 80% of the time at idle and 20% under load, running 24/7: 147 kWh/year. Adjust the inputs to match your usage:

Energy: 147 kWh/year · Cost: 36.79 €/year (3.07 €/month)

Footprint 220 × 180 mm, 60 mm tall (about 2.38 litres).
No VESA mount: place it on a shelf or a rack tray, or use a universal strap-style mini PC holder.
Given its height and weight, keep it flat on a stable surface.

Fanless aluminium case: the chassis is the heatsink and can feel hot to the touch in continuous use, which is normal.
Avoid closed cabinets without airflow; when lying flat, leave a few cm above the fins.
Clean dust from the vents every 6-12 months to keep temperatures and power draw low.

OPNsense or pfSense firewall/router: 4x 2.5GbE to split WAN, LAN and VLANs.
Proxmox or Docker for a few light services (Pi-hole, Home Assistant, Jellyfin without heavy transcoding).
