I'm using one of these. Uses even less power http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/desktop-board-di510mo.html Brand new they cost well under $100 (assuming you can provide a case and power) Whatever you use do make sure it has a "real" serial port not just USB. It is getting harder to find new equipment that has RS232. So if you use a notebook make sure it has rs232 Yes the notebook has a screen and keyboard but after you are set up you don't need that. I've used notebooks.
