You got your answers before, you just don’t want to accept them. The relationship between budget and performance expectation still borders delusion.
To quote u/Peachman who hit the nail on the head:
Fork out more money or lower your expectation.
Hahaha it's that guy again. I want an Amazon server for a fiver please!
Yeah it's me again because I wanna to make sure that I will buy the right thing for my homelab journey (don't wanna spend money uselessly)
In fact I've found pretty nice deal with 128gb and 24vcores at $160, the only downside is that it's a proliant dl380 g8 m, so it's going to be noisy and power hungry
Factor in power bills and heat and noise into your calculations.
That's exactly why I didn't buy it, and I don't need so much specs, just something more power efficient with lower specs, so if you have some recommandations...
I would look into thin clients and Lenovo etc. tiny PC for office on eBay. I run old low power low noise rackmount Supermicros which are nice but hard to find at low prices.
