Help me build a home server - eviltoast

Help me build a home server with a budget of €100/$109 (I live in Denmark)

I am thinking of buying it used how much ram who’d i need and what CPU

What I want to run on it

Nextcloud

RSS feed

transmission (if possible for the budget)

Maybe a few other small services

Photoprism (if possible for the budget)

Is this realistic for my budget?

Edit: Thanks alot for your really helpful comments

    The budget is way too low imo.

    You could repurpose an old workstation, bought dirt cheap on eBay if you are lucky, but even then you’ll have to get yourself an HDD, maybe multiple of them if you want to have data redundancy.

    For anything new your best bet is a 2 bay ready made NAS, but you’ll have to invest around 300€ for the cheapest one.

      It is entirely possible to start with a 2-bay drive rack (not a caddy, we want something without the connections) and then run the SATA out the back of the computer to the drives. It’s a compromise for this low a budget, but it’s not a major sacrifice.
