Agreed. I recently was going to build a home K8s cluster for fun, ended up adding another old rackmount Atom server instead, and swapping in Noctua fans ( https://www.neilvandyke.org/kubernetes/ ).

It takes up more space, and uses more power, but no paying scalper prices for hardware dependent on a dodgy microSD, wallwart, USB SATA adapter, improvised chassis, etc.

I recently started using an old Fujitsu Primergy s100 1u server with a Xeon cpu. I was supprised it usually runs on moderate load at (self reported) 35W (including two spinning hdds and a max-clocked Google edgetpu). For me this was a pleasant surprise.
