Need recommandations for a home server (lemmy.ml)

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. 😃 Thx!

In fact I've found pretty nice deal with 128gb and 24vcores at $160, the only downside is that it's a proliant dl380 g8 m, so it's going to be noisy and power hungry

Factor in power bills and heat and noise into your calculations.

That's exactly why I didn't buy it, and I don't need so much specs, just something more power efficient with lower specs, so if you have some recommandations...

I would look into thin clients and Lenovo etc. tiny PC for office on eBay. I run old low power low noise rackmount Supermicros which are nice but hard to find at low prices.
