  yea thats the only reason why i think getting a cheap old computer really isnt worth it, youll be charged more in power by way more and way faster compared to a phone that just sips power or a pi etc

    My entire setup uses less than 100W at idle. That includes:
    - Pi 4b (1 USB HDD)
    - HP ProDesk 600 G5 Mini
    - Custom ITX N150 NAS (4 HDD)
    - Wireless router
    - Switch
    - Modem

      100W idle is a lot imo. That’s about €0.50 per day where I live -> more than €150 per year in power consumption. To be fair, you’re running quite a lot of things at the same time.
