I think you're a bit behind the times there. PCs (as in x86_64 based)
can now be found, even second hand, that consume only four or five
watts.
BTW the NUC and the kind of are not bad - but non had more than one LAN port + power consumption + price.
It is a disappointment what happened after 2008 ... but not going into politics and economics. Just have a look at Alibaba/AliExpres.
I bought Acresser devices in 2007/2008 right before the financial melt down. They cost 250 US and were kind of picky to set up. Last year one of them
died (well the ide-to-CF controller gave up). The cool thing about those
were that they used max.12W. I started looking everywhere (in the west). I couldn't find anything useful. Min. power consumption >60W and costs >600,- ... and then I went to Alibaba/AliExpres ... it felt like I found a
treasury.
