The juice aint worth the squeeze to do this locally.

But you should still play with proxmox, just not for this purpose. My recommendation would be to get an i7 HP Elitedesk. I have multiple racks in my basement, hundreds of gigs of ram, multiple 2U 2x processor enterprise servers etc.... but at this point all of it is turned off and a single HP Elitedesk with a 2nd NIC added and 64GB of ram is doing everything I ever needed and more.

Yeah, right now I'm running a tower PC (Intel Core i9-11900K, 64GB Ram) with Unraid as my local "app server". I want to play with Proxmox (for professional and mostly fun reasons) though. Someday I'd like a rack in my basement as my homelab stuff has overgrown the space it's in and I'm going to need to add a new 12-bay Synology (on top of 2x12-bay) soon since I'm running out of space again. For now I've been sticking with consumer/prosumer equipment but my needs are slowly outstripping that I think.
