What's a cheap starter requirement to have a personal proxmox rig at home?

Check eBay for used enterprise machines. Dell optiplex 7050, Lenovo m75, HP elitedesk 705 or 800. All pretty cheap and have availability in the mini format. Find an Intel x550 card for 10gbe if needed.

These are my favs. Usually have room for an ssd for boot, nvme 2280 for storage and usually a spot you can cram a 2.5gbe into. Tiny, quietish and use laptop style memory so maybe it's cheaper right now? O don't know.

Lenovo M720q is also fine

Yep - old small form factor desktops.

Low power consumption (about 15w at idle). Enough space in side for a full size drive or a few laptop drives
