    Maybe not shit, but exotic at that time, year 2012.
    The first Raspberry Pi, model B 512 MB RAM, with an external 40 GB 3.5" HDD connected to USB 2.0.

    It was running ARM Arch BTW.

    Next, cheap, second hand mini desktop Asus Eee Box.
    32 bit Intel Atom like N270, max. 1 GB RAM DDR2 I think.
    Real metal under the plastic shell.
    Could even run without active cooling (I broke a fan connector).

      I have one of these that I use for Pi-hole. I bought it as soon as they were available. Didn’t realise it was 2012, seemed earlier than that.

        Mainly telemetry, like temperature inside, outside.
        Script to read a data and push it into a RRD, later PostreSQL.
        ligthttpd to serve static content, later PHP.

        Once it served as a bridge, between LAN and LTE USB modem.
