Help me build a home server with a budget of €100/$109 (I live in Denmark)

I am thinking of buying it used how much ram who’d i need and what CPU

What I want to run on it

Nextcloud

RSS feed

transmission (if possible for the budget)

Maybe a few other small services

Photoprism (if possible for the budget)

Is this realistic for my budget?

Edit: Thanks alot for your really helpful comments

    You’ve already had some great answers to your question. FWIW, with your budget I’d just pull an old laptop out of retirement (but not too old, some server software requires 64 bit architecture) and use the money on storage. Find a small SSD for your system and add on the heftiest USB HDDs you can afford.

    I had Transmission running quite happily for years on an early '00s netbook. Self hosting Nextcloud is another matter, I’ve seen install sizes balloon over time as updating backs up N prior versions on the server… I’m sure it will run fairly well off 8-10 years old machinery, though.
