A 13 year old computer is gonna use a lot more power than a RPi, that's for sure.

You would think... but if you don't have to run the 13 year old computer at full tilt, then the power difference may be minimal. The LEON SoS SPARC clones I used wound up consuming MUCH less power than modern intel cores.
