I bought a little computer a little smaller than two packs of playing cards. That's where the node and all personal server stuff runs. It's so compact and badass. Don't know why anyone who cares enough to run a node would bother with a Pi.
I think for me the attraction of the Pi was the large ecosystem surrounding it, meaning it has a lot of third party cases, etc, allowing you to customize your setup. For example, my node has a customizable compact display that was also built as a casing for the Pi.
Not to mention, a lot of people myself included got into node running thanks to raspibolt.org
Probably it is suboptimal to use the Pi in terms of cost and technical specs, but it was my first node built and I still love it

Makes sense -- electronic goofing around is vastly superior on the Pi, no question.

You never forget your first ;)
