Since we’ve all enjoyed SaaS allowing us to pay monthly fees until death for everything from our word processor to our sleep tracker, get ready for Compute as a Service to take over everything else once none of us can afford home computing.

For a personal server, just buy a liquidated office/business workstation and add storage as needed. Probably will still be cheap since the win10 EOL has lead a bunch of those machines onto auction sites.

I appreciate the advice, but that’s what I’ve got already. It works well, but I was hoping to make a significant upgrade and move away from spinning disks and such.

SSDs (Slow Spinny Disks)

Thing is, at the scale that a home server is likely to be providing, you don’t really need an upgrade at all for any of the components except storage and maybe a 2.5gig ethernet card depending on services available.
Also, like the other commenter said: SSDs. SATA ones (unless you have free PCIE lanes then use an m.sata adapter board).

I am currently building a server, I have five things left to get before I can use it, two 8TB HDDs, two 2TB SSDs and a SATA controller card.
I bought RAM for ut this summer a 2x 16GB Kingston kit, that kit has increased in cost by 1000SEK, insane…
