EDIT : I'm going to use a Lenovo P500 (at around $130) with 8 threads (will upgrade it later) and 64gb of RAM. It support the E5 v4 family so that's great. If someone knows the power consumption, that would be cool!

Hello, I want to build a "homelab" and I'm searching for a server, what do you propose me as good options? I need something with at least 64gb RAM, can buy used, and minimum 16vcores.. Around 150$ If you have any good options let's comment below 👇 THX ❤

At that price, the hardware will be ancient and you will spend more on electricity in a year than you spent on the server.

there's no solution? maybe mini pc's?

Not with 64gb ram and 16+ cores on that budget

Not the cores but you can get 2x16gb sodimms for something like an Intel (now Asus) NUC. But that won't be cheap lol.
Dunno if there are 2x32gb kits but maybe some higher end mini-pc has 4 bank ram or even full length dimms.
