I need some advice on what hardware to buy for my home setup. I see a lot of posts talking about software, but not so much hardware. I would love to have a box I can buy and start setting up stuff.
A rack seems a bit expensive, my initial budget I feel is reasonable starting out is about $500-$800.
I’ve been looking at mini PCs, what are your thoughts on ASUS PN52? Just throwing that into the post to give a pin point of what I’m looking for.
I’m planning on hosting
Bitwarden
Nextcloud
Plex
Standard notes
Lemmy instance
Web server
Openresty
And need to be able to upgrade storage etc. for future proofing.

The i7-4770 and -90 hold their own amazingly well a decade later!
Yeah, I’m amazed I haven’t had a need to upgrade yet.
