RSS feed

transmission (if possible for the budget)

Maybe a few other small services

From experience, older thinkpads usually sell for cheap, come with an inbuilt monitor, and are built sturdy. Highly recommend.

Older thinkpads in this price range will not perform well as servers. They will be pretty limited in specs. Better to go with a used SFF or other form-factor business model desktop.
