I’m considering setting up a home lab and truly self-hosting my own services. Unfortunately, my budget is limited to around $100-$150. I’m wondering if the HP Elitedesk mini PC is suitable for this purpose. I’m particularly looking at the HP Elitedesk 800 G3 or G5 models. Unfortunately, finding these devices in Dhaka has been challenging. So far, I’ve found a G3 on bikroy.com, but it comes with a 6th gen i7 CPU.

I’m hosting home-assistant and nextcloud on a raspberrypi4 with 8GB of ram. Anything bigger should be good enough. Invest in a decent disk array, though. It’s not fun when you lose data.
