Needs private albums for porn and ill use it.


I run a NUC11 so about 10W. 15-20€ per annum assuming a single tariff at 0.17€ per kwh. It can use up to 30W but only during heavy load which may be like 8 hours a week. But electricity is also cheaper during off peak hours so it averages to about that (we have 5 tariffs).

Load is NAS, media server, homeassistant and a usb zigbee router, *arr stack.

Power usage was my main concern and wanted something eco friendly.


Look into a NUC on ebay. I was able to snag a new 11th Gen i3 for 200 eur. Power draw is about 7w with a headless Debian. Running a media server, nextcloud, pihole, an arr stack and I’m planning to add home assistant and a zigbee bridge which I now run on a pi.

If you aren’t planning to run to much on it a rpi4or5 will actually be enough and these things can draw 15 on absolute max load.


It’s hard to recommend a Google product but Google TV or chromecast with Google TV does the job it’s supposed to do. App support is large and what isn’t there can be installed the same way it can be on an Android phone. I can stream Playstation games to it even though Sony doesn’t support it. Smart TV built in os’s aren’t up to par yet. At least not in the price range I’m buying my tvs.
