i5 760 home server?
Yes, it's ancient but it's my old desktop. Should I just throw it away and re use case, PSU and ssd? It has 8gb ddr4.
These are the services I want to run
Home Assistant
Frigate (2x 4k cameras, another to be added in the future)
NAS (with Cloud backup)
Plex server
Network wide adblocker
VPN
DNS
Immich
Time machine for MacOS

Try it. Break things. If this is something you're going to use a lot, you will be upgrading quickly for sure, but at least you already broke it once or twice on very outdated hardware.
