Hey, I'm always searching a home server (already post here https://lemmy.ml/post/15083947), I was thinking about a Lenovo P500, but maybe the PSU is a bit too special... My budget around $140, will buy used parts and one of the most important thing is the power efficiency (don't care about the peak wattage but want to stay around 50W idle and settling at about 70W when doing some work). Preferably I wouldn't like to buy mini PCs. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Thx!

sounds like you need to get a mini PC.

[-] foremanguy92_@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I would prefer to not because a mini PC is not good for upgrade, has no space, not so fast and it's not so low priced

well I don't see your use case anywhere to really speak to the "not so fast" but I've been running around 20 containers on an old refurbished Optiplex 7040, with 0 issues and a ton of headroom, for like $100.

and sure, "upgrading" is not existent, but I've thought of it this way: it's to learn on, and that itself is great for upgrading later, as I'll have a better idea of what I want and how to do it when I do get the big beefy server.
