Popular Hardware for Self Hosters?

3 years ago by BetterNotBigger to c/selfhosted

I dusted off my RPI4 and started tinkering with self-hosting things and it's sparked a fire. Suddenly I have 7 docker containers running and I need more RAM, more space and I want something reliable with room to grow. I like small form factors but it doesn't need to be RPI small. Any recs for your favorite hardware under $500?

One of those business Thin Clients for ~150$. They are pretty much a full fledged PC that run everything you throw at it, but tiny. The only problem with mine is that the fan is a bit loud on idle.

This is what I did, though I got hold of a Dell Wyse 5070, which is fanless. Saying that, I'm working on moving to a more powerful NUC (in an Akasa fanless case).
