Upgrade your Framework laptop motherboard, and use the old one in a 3D printed (or store-bought) case as a mini desktop PC, set-top box, Proxmox box, NAS, etc.

This is just using old laptops as servers with extra steps.

Let me present my self-hosting strategy:

Buy old laptops for less than €100 a piece, especially if they have good hardware and cracks in the frame, dirty keyboards, etc.

Put them in a cabinet with power and an old 1Gb ethernet switch

Install whatever you want on them (in my case a Talos Kubernetes cluster)

Much simpler, and a lot cheaper
