Downsizing from an ex biz full fat tower server to a few Pis, a mini PC and a Synology NAS was the best decision ever here.
The new hardware was paid for quickly in the power savings alone. The setup is also much quieter.
You don't think about power consumption a lot when working with someone else's supply (unless it's your actual job to), but it becomes very visible when you see a server gobbling up power on a meter at home.
You're right about the impressiveness of working creatively within constraints. We got to the moon in '69 with a fraction of the computing power available to the average consumer today. Look at the history of the original Elite videogame for another great example of working creatively and efficiently within a rather small box.
