Hey, I want to start my own homelab, im having difficulties to choice how to start my adventure. After some research i have some basic knowledge of what i need, but im not sure what to buy. I have no old computer or can't leave my desktop running 24/7.

If that's all you're doing you can just get a used Optiplex and upgrade it as needed. They are usually less than $100 and can have decent processors.
