8 GB DDR4 is 20 euro. Another 20 for basic SSD. Raspberry PI I found does not have a case, no CPU heatsink, no power supply, no SD card... And running system out of SD writeable card is another joke!
Not sure how I would "fiddle" with installing Linux distro. There is nothing out of spec, very common intel harddrive. With PI3 and Raspbian, my keyboard did not work, because Pi does not support USB 1.1 correctly!
This system idles around 5 watts, depending on peripherals. Max consumption for PI4 is 15 watts.
Celeron in this system is a good CPU for small servers. Look at Serve The Home reviews. But main reason are peripherals, you get Intel chipset, Intel network card, Intel USB and so on. You do not have to deal with shitty chinese chipset, that does not even implement spec correctly! Initial batch of PI4 would not even power up, because most basic USBC power delivery (single resistor) was botched!
