Dipping my toes into the realm of homelabbing and would like the experienced eyes of this subreddit on the hardware list that I’ve put together. I’ve read the wiki sections on software and hardware (and asked ChatGPT some stuff), so I have some basic understanding of what I’m trying to accomplish and how to do it.
My goals are, in order of priority, hosting a Plex server for my home and sharing with friends and family, setting up a Raspberry Pi for Pi-Hole, and file hosting that can be accessed remotely to combine my local/Google Drive/OneDrive/iCloud storage. I understand the Pi is all separate hardware-wise from this, so not related to this post.
I have plenty of experience building PCs for gaming but I’m not sure how the performance requirements of server hosting translate. Please feel free to recommend cheaper/better options for hardware. I’d like to stay under $1,500 and my current part list is ~$1,320. Thanks for the help.
