Another vote for Asrock Deskmini. I’ve had an A300 going for a while now. It started off just doing a few things on Docker, it’s now been repurposed as a Proxmox host. The nvme plus 2x 2.5” sata is very useful for storage options, and you can put some reasonable desktop CPUs in - subject to cooling, of which you can get a very low profile replacement if you need to. As there’s no video on the motherboard and no space to fit a PCIe (let alone the video card) you are restricted to CPUs with onboard video, which I think is more of a restraint for the AMD version than the intel, but even so there are enough options in the AMD lineup if you need firepower.
The Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 is an excellent cooling solution that juuuust fits in the case. One thing to just clarify is that the deskmini requires a GPU - it can't be run headless at all.
It really is excellent. It's my home server and it hasn't broken a sweat running dozens of services. Jellyfin can use the GPU for video transcoding on the fly too, so that helps make that not a complete waste.
