I have an SSD connected to mine which doesn’t need external power and runs fine off the “official” power adapter. The case I have isn’t the greatest (two pieces of acrylic and some stand-offs lol), but it costed 50p and gets the job done.

As for scale, you’re beyond a Pi at that point.

Wouldn’t you be able to make awards pointless by running an instance that handed them out without any payment?

Personally, I hated awards on Reddit and always disabled them in my client.
