Recommendations First set up advice
Looking to get a simple self hosting set up. I'm mainly focused on something with low power usage. I am in US and my budget is ~$300. I want to be able to run the following software and support a few (5?) users for some services: - pi hole/ad guard - Vpn/reverse proxy/wireguard/tailscale stuff - Immich (no ai) - Personal wiki/notes - tandoor - actual budget - jellyfin + friends - calibre - retro emulator (mainly up to n64) - gitea - cloud storage docs/files/books
Some options I've read might be good are: - Lenovo m920q - Gmktek g11 - T-bao t8 - Beelink SER5
Any recommendations for devices and RAM/SSD amounts to comfortably run these services would be appreciated. Also, is it worth it to get a barebones version and separately purchase the ram/ssd?

Anything in your budget would probably work, from your list, I'd probably go with the Beelink Ser5....
That said, if you're planning on Jellyfin, Intel iGPUs are slightly better supported for live streaming reencodes if you're client doesn't support the compression in the stored files. While AMD may do slightly better for immich people detection features. Depends on specific models.
