Hey, I’m always searching a home server (already post here https://lemmy.ml/post/15083947), I was thinking about a Lenovo P500, but maybe the PSU is a bit too special… My budget around $140, will buy used parts and one of the most important thing is the power efficiency (don’t care about the peak wattage but want to stay around 50W idle and settling at about 70W when doing some work). Preferably I wouldn’t like to buy mini PCs. 😃 Thx!

    Not sure where you’re shopping, but I can’t find it below $200 for 16GB of RAM.

      Searching on my “national used marketplace”, but do you have some recommandations? I don’t care about the specs mostly the power draw…

        At that price point not really, and there is definitely going to be some tradeoffs required between power vs consumption vs price.
