Looking for recommendations for a mini pc server to start self hosting (lemmy.world)

With all this migration i’ve been inspired to start self hosting some services.

I am looking for a mini pc to ideally run linux and host a media server with radarr and sonarr, pihole and some other stuff as i start getting more into self hosting.

Any recommendations / experiences that you can give? Or some general guidelines on what i should look for or things to avoid.

Thank you!!

I replaced my aging NUC with a Minisforum SFF box and am also very happy with it. Footprint is slightly larger, but actually find it much quieter. The NUC was basically silent 90% of the time too, but it had an annoying high pitched whine if you were doing something very CPU-intensive.

Depending on model they can support up to 2 m.2s and a 2.5" drive.
