Single board computer (Raspberry Pi)
A popular hardware platform for node operators. The Raspberry Pi is a single board computer that can be expanded with external storage to make up a perfectly suitable system. It's cheap to buy and the form factor makes it very appealing for something that needs to run 24/7. It's still not a particularly robust platform however. The SD cards tend to fail quite frequently, especially on systems with any sort of heavy IO, so make sure you get a high quality card.
Professional level consumer / Server Grade Setup
The Zen 2/3 chips from AMD support ECC memory and many motherboards come with multiple NVMe slots. You can easily build yourself a very powerful and robust bare metal solution for sub-$1500 that will last you many years of growth.
