For reasons unexplained, you have no homelab hardware, but $1,000 in cash earmarked for the purpose.
What are you buying, what are you installing on it, and how is it different from what you’ve done previously (i.e. lessons learned)?

That’s about $1000 more than most people have.
My suggestion is invest in networking equipment but it will not cost you $1000. Maybe a switch and a couple mini PC’s and if you have to buy used retail it’s maybe $200. If you want to get into NAS and streaming than you’re looking at spending some money because reliable, preferably fast storage is a must and expensive
