Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

As others just said, take the challenge of repairing or correctly identify what's broken. It should be fun, and part of the diy ethos.
If, you are still going for a new piece for the upgrades...
Depends very much on your scope. Heck, there's even aesthetics. Do you prefer AMD or Intel? Don't you feel like having an ARM and take the challenge of compatible images? Would you need to check the transcoding compatibility for Jellyfin? Are you going fangless? Is one 2.5gpbs eth port enough? Etc.
That said, check the reviews from https://www.servethehome.com/ they have articles with benchmarks and videos for all the latest nucs and other hardware's form factor servers.
Be aware that Intel discontinued the NUCs iirc.. but Asus or some vendor might have picked up to grab that market segment.
Good luck!
Well, I fully disassembled it, and I've found some components that are heating up a lot and probably making the buzzing noise.

However I have no idea what they are, if they're the problem or some connected component. The label doesn't return anything, so I think this 'uns a goner :(
ask a repair shop. Since the label is the same on the other things around it, they could use a parts tester to determine what it is and then order that part. If you're in luck, that's the whole problem. If it's some other component that failed they could still probably determine and fix it
To be honest, I don't think it's worth the bother. This is just an i3-5 something, and I got all the working parts off of it. But it's good a good idea, thanks!
