MODERATORS
Lots of people have already recommended secondhand compact PCs, like the kind most public libraries use to provide public computer access. As an alternative, if those are hard to come by in your area, I would recommend finding an old Lenovo Thinkpad. Even thinkpads as much as 10 years old remain very serviceable, significantly more powerful than most single-board project computers, and their power supplies only draw about 65 watts maximum, much less than the average desktop power supply. I have a few I've collected, and one sits under my router permanently as my personal server. In fact, I'm sending this message from one right now!
