 Yes, but then I'd have to find or make an enclosure that fits the board

 An enclosure is purely cosmetic. I attached my Pi5 to a piece of
cardboard with zip-ties and hung it down the back of my desk.
 

 My other TV computer, a radxa zero, dangles off the hdmi cable, and I've attached it to the back of the OLED tv with some tape. It's lived happily there for a year or so at the moment.

  Try Velcro or double-sided tape ... works great for
 sticking a Pi to whatever  :-)

 Once my wife complains too loudly, this is _exactly_ what I will try! My estimate is that the next time the tape let's go, and it sort of sticks out from behind the tv, that is the time I will be going down the velcro or double sided tape route. ;)

  I think it was rbowman I was talking to - the
 boss wanted 'muzak' for the office. So, I took
 an old Pi-1/256mb and a few long muzak tracks
 from 70s shopping malls and sneaked the wiring
 into the PA system. The tracks rotate every
 month. Worked for a dozen years and likely STILL
 does - so long as none of the muzak haters FIND
 the thing.
  There was about an inch behind where the PBX system
 was ... so I velcroed the unit to the back of the
 PBX box where it's almost perfectly invisible  :-)
  Proper muzak - you shouldn't actually HEAR it unless
 you TRY. Keeps some little corner of the brain occupied
 and, according to some, thus actually improves performance
 on other tasks.
 

 It could very well become the last piece of operating machinery on planet earth. Could you imagine the sun expanding, swallowing the earth while your little muzak machine plays the perfect muzak for the event? ;)

I think you just sovled Fermis paradox. They probably put up warning signs around this corners of the universe. ;)
