I’m trying to start out self-hosting and was looking for some good servers. I have a budget of ~100 USD and am in the US. I was initially going to get some type of raspberry pi but they seem to always be sold out here

I second what others are saying about finding some used mini PCs. My lab consists of server hardware mainly doing storage stuff plus some mini PCs for most services.
I use dell 7050s from amazon in mine. I used to have legit xeons 56xxx procs on super micro boards etc.
The power consumption is night and day and the sff is nice but still expandable. Totally serviceable for any workload I throw at it. I can toss 10gbe in it etc.
