I want to set up a home server and take advantage of everything it can offer, specialty privacy.

Raspberry PI, no matter the version, are all quite expensive here in Brazil, so that's off the table. I'll go for a regular desktop. But the the requirements for a server that "does it all" remains a mystery to me.

What specs do you guys recommend?

Even a Commodore 64 can be a server depending on the service it has to give.
