I want to make a minecraft server because my little sister and older cousin just got a new (old) pc with non RTX gpus, I want everyone to see the same shaders but we usually play bedrock which has built in multiplayer. I want to run a fabric server with a few mods like iris shaders, distant horizons, and xaeros maps. I’m thinking of a mini pc like the HP EliteDesk Mini because it has an am4 cpu that I can swap out if I need better server performance. I haven’t done much research on mini pcs since this is my first time trying to start a server, if theres anything better than that please tell me, I’d like to keep the budget under $60

I have seen there are subscription services for mc servers but I’m not a fan of those
