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)?

3 optiplex 7040s micros - put 32gb ram and a 2tb ssd in each and call it a day

This is what I did with 3060s. Eventually added a 4th, because... well... 3 is less than 4 and I had an empty slot in my rack.

I figure you need to buy networking equipment too?

I would only add a single SFF so that I can fit a couple of big 3.5 disks for my backup and data hoarding needs.

Other than that, yeah.... Micro/tiny/micro is the way
