For someone completely new to self-hosting things, what is a good entry hardware setup look like? Or am I just keeping my daily PC on all the time?

Portainer and a decent docker lab box. I use a template list from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xneo1/portainer_templates/master/Template/template.json as a base kit, but beyond that creating a pile of compose scripts and having the ability to put up and down services from a fairly simple GUI just to test them out is amazing. It's the simplest way I've found to just try an app, and either keep or toss it with minimal cleanup and reset of a box.
