Needed a new small server for my home automation system.

Raspberry Pi 5 4GB £57.30
Case £9.30
512GB SSD kit £52.80

Or (Second hand PC, new SSD)

Lenovo M900 Tiny i5 4GB £40.00
512GB SSD £31.00

Sorry Pi

@fuzzySynths @linker3000 Good point. Overall the Pi would cost 5-6x less to run. So my upfront view is not the full picture. Point conceded.

@linker3000 @fuzzySynths if we’re getting environmental, though, the impact of reusing second hand ex-corpo gear bought off eBay is *far* lower than manufacturing a new RasPi. Just like with cars.
