The MINISFORUM um790 Pro has solid hardware and can handle lightweight game servers once you add decent RAM and an SSD. The main drawback with home hosting is that you will run into bandwidth limits, uptime issues, and possible DDoS problems. If you want something more reliable, it is worth looking

Damn that mini PC with 128GB RAM sounds nuts! I had a Minisforum UM790 Pro with 64GB of memory. I ran Kubuntu on it and it was rock solid. Great little device. I eventually sold it and got an M4 Mac Mini, which has also been great, but I do miss my little Linux box sometimes.

I have had that MinisForum Venus UM790 Pro for more than a year now and I've been very happy with it. The first one arrived with faulty USB ports but the second one hasn't had any problems.

I had a Beelink for 2 or 3 years before it went completely Kaput. Out of warranty so little that I could do. I thought it should have lasted longer than that. Last July, I purchased a MINISFORUM Venus Series UM790 Pro Mini PC AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS DDR5 32GB 1TB PCIe4.0 SSD Personal Computer off Amazon.
