What's yours look like?

I don’t know how much power mine uses because it’s a non-issue. My bill is the exact same as before I deployed it.

Mine will last way longer than yours, it’s way more powerful than yours so can do a multitude of things that yours couldnt ever dream of doing, I don’t need a DAS either - I could just have easily kept using my NAS for the storage without issue, and while you can upgrade your hardware that costs more money and it still won’t be as good as mine. I don’t think you understand just how much better the Mac Mini hardware is than yours lol.
Oh wow you got a magical setup that uses no power? Can you let some scientists come check it out? My power bill reduced with my new setup.
The Mac Mini M4 is objectively better than your server. Objectively, not subjectively.

An Escalade is objectively more powerful than my car; doesn’t make it better at getting groceries, and it cost eight times as much.
Anyway, enjoy your thing, I guess.

Not a good analogy.
The Mac is more efficient while having significantly more power, and more use cases.
Your setup is fine, it does what you want. That doesn’t mean this isn’t better. Yes it’s more expensive, but that’s because it’s much better hardware. Not everyone wants a Corolla, some want a Lamborghini.
