But why would you do that on a raspberry?

I mean if you have one already go ahead do your thing! But here we're talking buying a new one.

At that price it's really pointless.

But at normal prices, you can slap passive radiator on it, and have perfectly decent server for these things taped to the wall behind your desk. Zero noise, minimal power consumption, works reliably 24h

It actually saves you decent money compared to regular optiplex. In 24h work power savings translate into meaningfully lower electricity cost over the year.

I think mine is like 10 watts so not very expensive yearly, like 20€. And everyone forgets that for many, it's just energy you'd use for heating anyways during many months of the year.

Yeah, but it's only 100% efficient at best. Heat pumps are 200% - 400% so it is not really a 1 to 1 as far as heating. And in warm months you have to offset that heat so it very well could be a net loss.
