The Raspberry Pi idea is good because for your $100 it can do a few other tasks at the same time.
It can run LH but also maybe she other services like NTP, a small web server and also a WiFi based backup server that backs up any notebook computers you have (it such a hassle to plug in an external drive to a notebook that few people do it. So I have mine do an hourly backup over WiFi.) I have a Pi3 on my desk right now and yes, it is more than powerful enough and would be under utilized even with a half dozen light weight servers running. So a $100 t-bolt monitor is rather expensive but if you can get four of five other functions at the same price, maybe worth it.
