Old laptops off ebay are optimal, particularly for lightning nodes as the built-in battery will eventually save you from a corrupt channel state. Never having to connect peripherals is a bonus.
Just make sure it's got an SSD, or upgrade the drive yourself. Recommend 8GB ram minimum.
Then wipe it with a fresh Linux install.

You know, I hadn't considered this probably because of form factor, but that's actually a good idea... I wouldn't need to turn on my main workstation to manage it. Do you think it would be noisy?

Probably the least noisy thing you can get, if you get a ProBook or Latitude or something of that nature they're off-lease corporate wagie computers meant for a cubicle, very quiet since there's no hefty video card for gaming or thirsty chip.
