notice the bit about pushing it… say transcoding all the streams etc. I don’t know what or how it will be used… thus saying should be fine. Everyones mileage varies no talk about network either, far too many variables to consider thus saying it should be fine!
As said it should be fine unless pushing it with something like media files/jellyfin/plex/nextcloud. Nextcloud for example needs few resources but running anything nice would soon crawl.
Not really. The HP Elite 800 G3 and G4 mini make up 2/3 of my Proxmox nodes. The G3 currently hosts the VM that runs my entire media stack.

6th gen Intel CPUs support quicksync. This is a non-issue for most self-hosters.

Here are some stats for my particular HP Elite 800 G3 Mini (i7-7700T/32GB RAM) over the last 18 months:
Peak CPU usage is never more than 50%, and the vast majority of memory usage is just cached. Actual memory usage by each VM or LXC is far lower. The IO delays were user error (my NAS was having issues).

Pretty pictures don’t always translate into another users experience though do they, but I appreciate you wanting to argue just because you can

8th gen Intel igpu and it’s transcoding streams and supporting a very active immich stack. I have 12 containers and 8 VMs.

OP has a budget of $150. I doubt they are going to be running a full suite of self-hosted replacement services right off the bat. The machine in question is perfectly suitable for quite a lot of things.

From my personal experience I can totally agree. I have a HP Elitedesk with a i5-8500T and it runs multiple Jellyfin 4K HDR streams just fine with Hardware transcoding. And it does this while hosting other services like pihole, minecraft server, homeassistant in parallel. So for a regular family household these machines are good enough. Don’t know if it also works fine with more users (5+).
