    Hardware Advice

    Should I use an existing computer or get a "new" one?

    I'm going to set up a Jellyfin server for my parents soon and wanted some advice for hardware. I could use one of two old computers we have around the house or get one from my university's surplus sale that would probably be similar to my personal server (an Optiplex with an i7-4770). The computers we have are a Dell with an i3-3240 or a Dell Optiplex 780 with a Core 2 Duo E8400. Cost really isn't a big deal if I do go for one from a surplus sale, as they usually have pretty low prices. 

    I'm planning on running Jellyfin with Docker on Debian 12, if that makes a difference.
    Thanks!
