The Pi isnt bad for certain things. And can still be had for fairly cheap. I put one in my parents house for remote support, some small postfix and NUT/UPS shutdown goodness. I usually just get a canakit on amazon for under 200 bucks and it comes with most of the utilities, cases etc needed to flesh it out. Still thinking of making a Sonos style speaker system in the house with some Pi's and some JBL charge speakers or something which can always be used as a BT speaker and even setup in tandem for stereo. Those things are solid. I use them on the boat, when playing along to songs, even when setting up a projector in the yard for the kids to watch a movie in a "special" setup.
