I’m looking to upgrade/replace my current home server, I’m running an old Dell precision T7500 with dual Xeon X5550’s that I picked up for free and it’s been doing everything I’ve needed so far but also eating a lot of power even at idle. I would really like to get the power draw down more than anything else but don’t want to sacrifice performance while doing so. I mainly use it as my Plex server and Adguard server on Unraid, but would like to start running a few more containers and maybe a couple of VM’s as well. Also all of my drives are 3.5” drives and I can’t afford to replace them as well. Looking to spend around $400 at most. Any suggestions?

I would look into something of HP G9 or Dell R730/R630 range. These will be more power-efficient and you should find something within that price.
