Hi friends. I’m a newbie in self-hosting, though I’ve been managing (virtual) linux servers at work for a couple of years. I’m completely ignorant on the hardware choices out there, hopefully you can point me to the right direction.
Here are my requisites:
Low power consumption, I plan to have it connected 24/7 and I’m kinda concerned on how much it will impact the electricity bill
Ethernet port, preferably gigabit but whatever
Graphical performance is not important as I don’t plan to connect it to any display. As long as I can ssh into it, I’m good.
Services I plan on installing, for starters:
casaOS
pi-hole, or equivalent
Home Assistant
Kitchen Owl (nice to have)
Paperless-ngx (nice to have)
I live in europe and my budget is around 80 euros or so. Thanks in advance!
I just bought a cheap Intel i3 10100T that have a TDP of 35W.
There is a bios option to reduce that to 25W.
Thoses are not sold to end users and must be purchased through craiglist or equivalent.

TDP is not related to power consumption, it’s related to dissipation.
The thermal dissipation is directly linked to the amount of power consumed.
It’s not and it’s insane. TDP is a fucky “metric”.
