Don't think of it as a drawer... think of it as a small museum

I used mine to level a table. Worked great.

Think carefully if you have a use for it because probably 3/4 of Raspberry Pi's sold end up sitting around unused in drawers and cupboards. People buying them on impulse is why there are always shortages.
And specifically for the Zero, decide whether you really need something in the smallest and lowest-powered form-factor with minimum of ports - eg drone, balloon project, battery powered stuff etc. If it's just for Kodi, Retrostation etc then you'll be much better off with a 2 or 3 rather than have a Zero with a bunch of adapters and hubs hanging off it.

I've got 3 of the Pi2's and 1 of the Zero's..
Only have 2 running at the minute - one running PiHole, blocking adverts from all internet connected devices on my network and one running an ADSB receiver, providing updates to flightware for flight tracking purposes..
I recommend pihole to stop adverts when browsing for sure, and it also stops adverts in games on phones etc.
