Hi, I'm building a computer to host a minecraft server, and my budget is $100-$130. The server will aim to have about 10-20 players and since the budget is so low, I have decided to get a motherboard with onboard processors and Intel graphics. Please be mindful when choosing that the factors are:
Which one gives the most "bang" for your buck?
Which one is the fastest?
Which one is easiest to use

Here are the choices:
1.
MakerBrightTM Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Select Kit w/Raspberry Pi 3, Clear Case, 5.25V 2.4A PSU, 8GB NOOBS MicroSD, 6' HDMI 1.4 Cable - OEM
2. ASRock Q1900B-ITX Intel Celeron J1900 2.0GHz Mini ITX Motherboard/CPU/VGA Combo
3.
ASRock D1800B-ITX Intel Celeron J1800 2.41 GHz Mini ITX Motherboard/CPU/VGA Combo
4.
ASRock Q1900-ITX Intel Celeron J1900 Motherboard/CPU/VGA Combo
Thanks!
 
Honestly, look for a computer on Craigslist. I was able to run a 10 person server on an Intel Pentium 4 CPU & 4GB of DDR2 RAM. Performance isn't the prettiest, but it gets by.

Another option is to rent a server from PingPerfect or BeastNode. I have used both and prefer the support of BeastNode whereas PingPerfect costs less per month.

I'd just pay for a host as others have said. There's huge competition for servers and prices are low, easier to maintain (arguably), and isn't subject to your potentially meh internet speed.
 
^Very good point. Some people get off on having the hardware at home though. Make sure you have consistently high up and down speeds from your ISP and be careful about oversaturating your home network lest you pooch your server's performance.
