The title says it all, looking for.idea son what could i run minecraft server for me, gf and kid to log into from time to time to play. For now i host on my laptop and then play from the same machine but was thinking about having that separate.

And if my other comment isn’t what you are looking for and you want a dedicated machine, like others have said a used laptop is great. Thinkpads seem to be good and work well with linux if you want to go that route for hosting. Maybe check out some local school/university/office surplus sales since they can have some insane deals on machines that would be great for your use case

Honestly, unless you have an extra pc sitting around that you aren’t using (doesn’t need to be great stats, 4gb quad core is fine), I would probably just check out some dedicated Minecraft hosting options. $7-15 a month gets you a dedicated IP, always on server that is good enough for like 6-8 people. See if you can find a cyber Monday deal and you could possibly get started for super cheap or even free. Hostavoc and apex are a couple that come to mind
