sup, i have a question for technical people. I’m thinking of getting a server for self hosting random stuff (minecraft, websites, apis, bots, etc), and I came across this: amazon.com/dp/B081D4P1PS. anyone have any alternatives or does this one look pretty good one for a first one

I have the same CPU for my server that's very similar to that PC, I have like 10 (kind of lightweight) containers running and it gets around 10-15% usage, I think it gets up to around 30-50% while running a Paper MC server with a few people on. The RAM may be limiting, I have 40GB and I'm using around 30GB. You should get a second drive that is the same capacity to have redundancy in-case of drive failure (write speeds are limited to the slowest drive in a RAID1 though). You may also want to get another drive for booting off of (even a USB drive is fine for Linux or a hypervisor like Proxmox).Btw, I recommend Proxmox, it's a very good hypervisor for a home server. For price, it seems alright, I got mine for a lot cheaper but it was on clearance and only came with 8GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive.
