Cylindrical cells won’t swell up. They go open circuit if they start building up pressure.

Get a NUC or one of those mini Lenovo things that show up in lots of homelab photos.
no risk of laptop battery swelling
This is wrong. Any device with a battery can swell.
Welcome to the hobby! It’ll consume your free time and (if you’re the right kind of person) deliver lots of satisfaction.

And if there CID is not enough to stop more pressure from building up, they will eventually vent. Perhaps even burst into flames if you get things right. But simply not swell.

You can get them stupid cheap, they have a pcie slot that will fit a full nic card, have a ton of 3d printed parts for them, and can take nvme drives. Plus run proxmox with ease. They’re also the size of a small novel and are nice and quiet. I grabbed a used on on eBay for $100 tossed in ddr4 laptop ram I had laying around, got the cheap riser card and Intel nic for it. Runs opnsense and has been rock solid for months now. Totally worth it.
