   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. I have a number of Fujitsu Esprimo systems (Q557 and Q957) with   
   power consumption down around five watts, I'm sure there are other   
   manufacturers' systems similar.  Refurbished Q556s can be bought for   
   around £50 which compares pretty favourably with a Pi 5, plus case,   
   plus power supply, etc.   
      
   I have several RPis as well, they have their uses.
