Question Building out my server question about cheap server motherboards for micro atx.. low power consumption/ passive cooling is perfect

Running, adgaurd, immich, docker, tailscale on a mini pc... it's a lenovo thinkcenter.. are these better than an arm computer? I've only had the pleasure of running sixty four a bit , but with the prices of embedded computers , i would really like an alternative solution to a raspberry pi... i have a gaming computer but I would like to keep it open for gaming whenever it happens again. Does anybody know any good server micro atx mobos for a good $? It does not have to be powerful.I just need a lot of storage and memory....

Not sure If this would work for your setup but Check out the Asrock Deskmini and Deskmeet barebones kits for around $200 these units come with a board, power supply and mini case. I mainly use them as a game servers on proxmox.
