I use an Intel i7 NUC as a Plex server - I run it off the 24VDC
power plant (24V to 19V converter). The NUC added about 15-18W of
load, depending on it's load. Now I just need to move the QNAP to
the 24VDC plant, too...

The main attraction for me is the very low power required for the pi. 
The things I use them for do not require a lot of processing power, but 
I really like being able to power them with only a watt or two of power.

Canakit may be a little bit expensive, but, if you seriously want a kit

I believe I got the canakit for the original raspberrypi, it worked well
