Hi
I have found a:
HPE 873830-S01 ProLiant MicroServer Gen10
for <$300 without drives. If I can believe the seller, it has a AMD Opteron X3216 Dual-core (2 Core) 1.6GHz and 8GB Installed.
It has 4 3.5" bays. and 1? "Media" bay?
https://www.servertechsupply.com/873830-s01/
this could well be acceptable. Got to find out power draw. Looks like ~40W.
Any input on issues of OS install? Do I go with separate OS and data RAID1 sets?
I usually do
[ 1(+n) RAID1 ]->[ LVM ]->[ XFS ]
then you can use LVM to manage different filesystems as required.
/boot and/or /boot/efi should be on its own RAID1 with old metadata version but I'm not up to date about how the situation is exactly with EL9.

Also HPE is ClearOS. I ran ClearOS6 for years before going with QNAP turnkey. Perhaps current ClearOS is better, but it does not handle multi-domain email as I need. Or it did not. So I am going to install my own CentOS variant and iRedMail...
thanks

Proliant gen8 does NOT have UEFI.
So I think this means I better move up to the gen10...
I'm pleased with my Gen 10+ (Plus). Pricer than I thought you want.
I like the "no power supply", just an external brick. Quiet. I put in a PCI card to use 2 NVMe sticks, one for system and one for /home. You can also boot from an internal usb port like a thumb drive permanently installed.
Carriers for 2.5inch SSD drives work fine so with few fans, no drive motors, could be quite low power.
Mine acts as email server, local caching DNS server (dnsmasq) and Amanda backup server.
