    Power cost depends. I use a thin client (J4105 CPU), and it idles at 4W. Idling is what it does 95% of the day. That power usage is lower than my modem, and a drop on the bucket compared to my (relatively low power) desktop PC. And I say that as a German who pays a disgusting 0.4€ per kWh.

      Oh, I completely agree, it’s still going to be fairly cheap, especially if it idles a lot, I just wanted to point out that it’s not going to be free free.
