Like nostr:nprofile1qqspdq3w68h5s0hkasfkn4ff0cdgxhv6rjf0hneuaevve0say6v4j3cppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0uxemlx said, an old desktop can be a good and affordable option. I myself bought a 4TB SSD and put it in one my old machines, running for a couple of years and works great. 

 MAYBE ONE OF THOSE NUC MACHINES? I'M TEMPTED TO JUST RUN AN APPLE MAC MINI BUT I KNOW I SHOULD BE STICKING WITH LINUX 

 Windows Server is but a download away, then a reg hack from not phoning home for registration.

Or yeah, do Proxmox VMs. 

 NOT TOUCHING WINDOWS WITH A TEN FOOT POLE, STICKING WITH LINUX BUT I WANT MY OWN HARDWARE, NOT TO RUN A VM. A TOUCH SCREEN WOULD BE A NICE BONUS LOL
