I dusted off my RPI4 and started tinkering with self-hosting things and it's sparked a fire. Suddenly I have 7 docker containers running and I need more RAM, more space and I want something reliable with room to grow. I like small form factors but it doesn't need to be RPI small. Any recs for your favorite hardware under $500?

Yep. I use one of these for all of my homelab stuff. The i5 7500 does everything I need it to do, including h265 QuickSync transcoding for Plex & tDarr.
