Just came across this post on Reddit (yetch, I feel sullied and unusual) and am sharing it because…god damn…that’s the endgame right here -

If you’re on here CaptainRedsLab, that’s an amazing rig.

Nb: I am not the creator of this project, I have no affiliation with them and I cannot answer any questions based on their build. I just think it’s cool as a shit and am sharing. YMMV

    Yep just use what you’ve got! I’m running my server off a little workstation I got for free from work. I’m working on setting up another server for my sister on one of her old laptops then we’ll use each other’s as off-site backups and for redundancy. Work with your friends and family to get them off big tech too! Pretty much everyone has some old system sitting around that could be brought back to life and act as a server.
