Get NUC, or one of those refurbished Dell or HP mini PCs. They have plenty of CPU power, consume very little idle power, and friendly to Linux.

I have been wildly happy with my EliteDesk mini pcs. Mine are the “G5” generation which cost like $60-150 on eBay with varying specs, obviously newer generations have better specs but for my “homelab” needs these have been great. I even put a discrete GPU ($60) in my AMD one for a great little Minecraft machine for playing with the kid.

I have a g5 elitedesk small form factor (about the size of a largr cereal box, not a book) pc, thats been runnimg my by media server and torrent download services for years now. It has a plucky little 10th gen i3 or something, and it has been more than enough. Can real time transcode 4K movies! Dead quiet and sips electricity. Uptime is on average about 8-10 months.
