Keep an eye out for any thin clients that can't support Win11 that businesses are getting rid of. You might have some luck with them.

I'm looking at old optiplex, it's significantly cheaper than rpi5, bigger in size though. I wonder how much power it will consume while hosting cloud storage, jellyfin, and home assistant.

Yeah, I need to get a meter so I can see what the power draw is on mine.

I was going to say this. Used thin clients is the cheapest route these days. I am happy I got a cheap used Intel N150 mini pc for my Jellyfin server a while ago.
