I agree about finding old hardware to use. Sometimes it is the way to go.
I ran old Dell laptops from the recycle bin at work as servers for some time. I ran old gaming machines at one point as well.
Those laptops used more power than this thing, put out more heat, and were slower.
I was just saying that people don't always need dual 150W Xeons monsters for homelab.
