      Seems like it could be converted to a vending machine pretty easily if you could add your own OS

      Already has security, waterproofing, payment processing stuff, and a screen to choose your item.

        Just have to completely reconfigure everything physically and digitally. Or, sell something the size of a cd?

          You could use it to sell decorative coasters.

      I was talking to one of the repair guys working on one near me and he told me they already ran Linux, so they’re one step ahead of you
