With the current pi prices, buying a used minipc might be cheaper and give you more resources.

Sometimes it's a power consumption issue.

In my case I could use a pi in terms of CPU and ram but I need a lot of SATA. After putting in a perfect energy saving MB and a picoPSU I am idling at 16 watts. But id preferred a pi regarding power.

But yeah sff PCs are cheaper and much more powerful.
