I bought a tiny, fits in the palm of my hand, N100 box on Amazon for $150[1]. It currently does basically everything I need and idles at 7.5W.

I’ve got cloudflare setup for dns management and a few simple sites hosted on it like blogs and Gitea. It has an sd card slot that I use as extra storage.

Sure it’s not nearly as awesome as the setup detailed here but I couldn’t recommend it more if you just want a small simple home server.

7.5 W is a bit high idle for N100, IMHO. Power supply is not very efficient I bet.
