I’m trying to start out self-hosting and was looking for some good servers. I have a budget of ~100 USD and am in the US. I was initially going to get some type of raspberry pi but they seem to always be sold out here

    Do you know how much they are? Some family was showing me some. However, they were around 1.7K USD

      I was watching one recently on eBay with 16 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD that went for 200 GBP. I’d go secondhand, not brand new. Anything newer than an 8th gen intel CPU, ideally quad core should be enough to get you started.

      They’ve been making them for quite a few years so you can pick up older/slower ones for very cheap just depending on how fast you need it to go - I recently picked up a NUC10 i7 for my plex server
