I finally retired my Pi desktop. Powered from a wall-wart 5V supply they are very vulnerable to power bumps. So that desktop has become a Thinkpad. There's still a Pi here loaded up with guitarix and USB ADCs for that kind of thing, and a headless 3B+ working as a cloud server on the LAN. The 3B+, IMO, hits a sweet spot for computing and low power.
