I'm assuming you've never built a computer before because even 32 GB of RAM costs more than $150 π€£
Huh?
4x 30β¬ is not 150β¬ on my calculator (DDR4 RAM I bought for my Intel NUC which I use as my server)
Now if we talk about DDR5, 2x 16GB, ECC and registered Kits...That might fit.
The kit I bought was 148β¬ in April 2023. Even now it's 125β¬.
And it's not really an isolated case of cheap ram...
32 GB of DDR4 RAM is about 70 USD here. But you don't need 32, you can selfhost plenty of stuff on 16 or even 8 GB. Heck I ran mine on an old 4 GB stick for a couple of years when I first started.
I ran about 10 orb12 docker containers on my raspverry pi with 4gb of ram + Debian (and OMV5).
Red lined the thing plenty of times.
Bro think about used part and I don't need 7200mhz ddr5
I wouldn't worry about a specific number of cores, as that doesn't translate at all to CPU performance. Instead look at single thread performance.
So something with a Core i5-7500 on ebay for example, should be able to get one in your price range after buying more RAM.
Honestly, when it comes to your specified amount of Cores & RAM you'll have tough luck. Got myself a MiniPC with 5700U and 32GB of RAM, two 1TB SSDs (mirrored) and 3 NIC but that was still 500β¬ after waiting for a decent deal.
Even buying a used PC off eBay will most likely cost far more if you insist on your specs.
I've edit the post with what I found
Are you just starting out? I got started with home labbing with a Raspberry Pi 2B (1GB RAM!) and an external HDD I had lying around. I host Yarr, Navidrome, backups and a dashboard app Ive written on there and I am quite satisfied. I would really recommend starting small with hardware you already have and then buy new hardware as you go along. I am also using Tailscale. With this you can get your initial setup up and running in a day and save money if it turns out home labbing isnt for you or you dont really need the hardware.
thx
You need at least $1,000,000
And a helicopter.
