I’m trying to start out self-hosting and was looking for some good servers. I have a budget of ~100 USD and am in the US. I was initially going to get some type of raspberry pi but they seem to always be sold out here

    Look for some refurbished thinclients or use a second-hand laptop. If needed upgrade it with a SSD.

      Something like this my only question is do you have to use the HP firmware or can you just run Linux on it?

        You can easily install Linux on it. I actually have that exact model, but the CPU is a bit weak for most stuff.
