EDIT : I’m going to use a Lenovo P500 (at around $130) with 8 threads (will upgrade it later) and 64gb of RAM. It support the E5 v4 family so that’s great. If someone knows the power consumption, that would be cool!
Hello, I want to build a “homelab” and I’m searching for a server, what do you propose me as good options?
I need something with at least 64gb RAM, can buy used, and minimum 16vcores…
Around 150$

Go on eBay, punch in the price you’re looking to spend and search for an old server. Keep in mind some manufacturers use proprietary connectors.
Look for servers with lots of ECC ram, clean photos of the internals.
They probably won’t have a drive that’s pretty common.
To meet that 16 core requirement, you’ll probably be looking at older dual socket systems.
Edit: a quick search I found this. https://www.ebay.com/itm/225978893065?
Not a perfect match but the price is pretty good.
