I bought one of those thin Lenovo clients for about $200 and use it as a home server with Debian, it works great for pretty much everything and is a lot more bang for your buck than raspberry pi or a brand new mini-pc. The only downside is that it doesn't have space for multiple 2,5/3,5 disks, but that is just personal preference anyway.
