I'm too lazy to take pictures, but I have a synology sitting in an Ikea Kalix and an older laptop mounted to the other side of the wall (that the kalix is against), which is a bathroom in my garage.

We had contractors working last summer and let them use the garage bathroom. After the 3rd day I overheard a few of them developing conspiracy theories for why we have a closed laptop mounted to the wall and with fans that would occasionally cycle up.

Haha i have a raspberrypizero screwed to a wall in the garage that turns my regular doorbell into a smart doorbell through a relay I plugged into the GPIO, plugged into a numpad to arm/disarm cameras, and into a little camera that takes a picture when a wrong code is entered, ran by a little python script I wrote. I've heard very similar comments lol.
