Does nobody else cobble together home servers with spare parts any more?
I do this. Random ebay junk is both better and cheaper than a raspberry pi. When I first started doing home server stuff, I had the option between an Athlon XP and a raspberry pi and the Athlon XP delivered better performance (I tried both).
A PC drawing 150 watts will burn through $225+ in electricity a year. The raspberry pi maxes out at like 6 watts.
RPi is the best performance to operating cost you are going to find if you don't need more juice for high intensity stuff (transcoding, etc)
