Single board computer for selfhosting (lemmy.ml)

I am looking to self host my own media server (Jellyfin), a personal page and something more in the future and I need to choose my server hardware. I have decided on buying a single board computer to save on energy, space and, perhaps, cost.

Jellyfin docs recommend a computer with a Rockchip RK3588 / RK3588S processor. I would also need ethernet, USB for external storage, at least 4GB of RAM and maybe a M.2 slot for the OS and more space.

I know about Armsom and OrangePi, are they any good?

My budget would be up to 150 euros and I live in the Netherlands. Any suggestions?

if you need to buy it, for that budget i'd choose something like an used Lenovo m910q tiny that banks and offices are throwing to the landfill because Microsoft said that everyone needs to buy a new PC. Half the price, similar power consumption (in idle, otherwise much more), much more powerful, comes with nvme and sata slots, hdmi and usb 3

Agreed, this is good advice. At one time I had three of these, they're great, small, versatile, well built. All around a great machine.

I just built a mini rack with 3 Thinkcentre tiny PCs I bought for $175 (USD) on eBay. All work great.
