For reasons unexplained, you have no homelab hardware, but $1,000 in cash earmarked for the purpose.

What are you buying, what are you installing on it, and how is it different from what you've done previously (i.e. lessons learned)?

Had to do this when I moved countries. Went from multiple HP Microservers down to a 2014 Mac Mini that handles TimeMachine backups and my photos and a Lenovo M93p that's been upgraded as far as it can go with a few terabytes of external storage. Potent enough to run the odd VM when I need to test something, and comfortably runs Docker for HomeBridge, Phoscon, and file shares.
