I’d recommend taking a look at used small form factor PCs on eBay. I’ve been using one for a couple years now that came with an i7-8700 16GB of ram and an nvme SSD for about $300. Running 30+ docker containers without any issues (most are lightweight to be fair)

The only drawback to small form factor is that you have limited expansion opportunity with the unit itself. In my case I use an external NAS for storage of larger files.

ServeTheHome has a bunch of videos on YouTube about these small form factor computers.

Just looked at their offering, it looks promising. They also have email forwarding with catch-all which will be useful for people relying on that with Google domains

I haven’t tried this personally but maybe if you use a short extension cord it would work better? This should remove the weight of the DC adapter pulling on the connection to the outlet
