Well, the question is, what are your real needs and what part of you is asking for MORE POWER? :-) I personally think, that the Dell T20 is more than enough for a ONLY NAS Server and even for a small homelab. You could go for something similar to this (ebay) but I had MUCH more success in looking at "garage sale" websites (I don't know, what sites to use in the US): https://www.ebay.com/itm/175291934211?hash=item28d036a603:g:5mcAAOSwTjxiizKN https://www.ebay.com/itm/175291934211?hash=item28d036a603:g:... https://www.ebay.com/itm/284831417242?hash=item425146839a:g:97gAAOSw2rVijDR6 https://www.ebay.com/itm/284831417242?hash=item425146839a:g:... Dell T20 - but I would not invest more than 150$ incl. >= 16GB ECC RAM. HP Microserver Gen8 is more expensive, but not more than 350$ incl. >= 16GB ECC RAM. You could also consider FUJITSU PRIMERGY TX1310 M3 and better. More modern Machines include the DELL T40, but it is much more expensive.
