Looking for recommendations for a mini pc server to start self hosting

With all this migration i’ve been inspired to start self hosting some services.

I am looking for a mini pc to ideally run linux and host a media server with radarr and sonarr, pihole and some other stuff as i start getting more into self hosting.

Any recommendations / experiences that you can give? Or some general guidelines on what i should look for or things to avoid.

Thank you!!

  • I use a few used Dell Optiplex 7050 Micros, they’re great for the price (and have a small footprint too!)

    Edit: for storage I have a HP MicroServer Gen. 10 plus

    • I went with a used Optiplex for my Plex server. I rarely transcode anything so I didn't need much power
