Back in the day, I ran a BBS on a IIe.  Nowadays, a IIe and a IIGS keep my
beer cold with some custom software I wrote and some hardware I built.  The
power consumption of these machines is minimal, compared to more modern
hardware.  The typical IIe config (128K, a serial card, and a floppy
controller) will barely get above room temperature.
