I use a second-hand HP t620 thin client instead.
4 x64 AMD Puma cores at 1.5GHz, dual-channel DDR3 4GB SODIMM (1600MT/s), 16GiB m.2 storage, mPCIe, gigabit ethernet, 6x USB 2.0, 2x USB 3.0. 7W in idle and it's fast enough to run Gentoo. I paid 25 EUR for it. You can expand RAM (up to 16GiB) and storage if you wish for a little bit more.
PC recycling companies buy these by weight and there is very little in terms of secondary market. Most of these end up in landfills, while being perfectly capable little home servers.
