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

    Start small. Find good used hardware first before thinking what services to run. I would start with an old desktop.

    Self-hosting is a journey, not a destination. No matter what you buy you’ll probably need to buy new hard drives. Used hard drives are a bit of a gamble.

    Where do people buy used systems in Denmark? Show us a few things you’re interested in and people can give you recommendations.

    Also, instead of Photoprism, I would suggest Immich. I was a huge supported of Photoprism for years (even donated money) but their development is too slow. Immich is way faster and has an android app. Anyways, give it a look.

    I think 8 GB of RAM is sufficient for all those services. I run them all with Yunohost and I rarely get over 4 GB RAM used.

      I have looked at

      Lenovo Thinkcenter sælges. i5-3470 8gb ram 256gb HDD

      Price 44 US Dollars 40 Euros

      2

      I5 4570 Vpro 3.2 ghz 4 gb ram 500 GB Hdd. (3.5")

      Price

      46 Euros 51 US Dollars

      (It’s a bit more expensive and has less RAM, but thinking of that, if the other seller has sold)
