Cheap first server for xcp-ng hosting

Computer Hardware & Server Infrastructure Builds

Hi,
It’s my 2021 goal to start my home lab. I realized a good first step in setting up a home lab would be a server to host VMs. Thanks to Tom for introducing me to xcp-ng in videos - so I know I can run VMs for cheap.

But before I can run xcp-ng - I need a good cheap server. I am willing to buy a rack for my home lab, so 1u or bigger sized machine is preferred.

Thanks in advance.
