A LittleBackground - I got this for free from my Uncle, I have
thoroughly cleaned with Isoprophyl Alcohol. I took in hope that I can
use it for my Cloud Storage.

And Genuinely Speaking I think it's fairly possible because I have
seen people do that on Raspberry PI

TBH I don't know specs of all the things, but I do have pictures of
everything linked below.

CPU - Intel Pentium G4400 SR2DC 3.30GHZ X709D613

RAM - Its not of a known brand IG but its 2 sticks of 4Gb DDR4 2400.
HERE IS THE [PIC](https://postimg.cc/gallery/c8Yv58M) FOR BRAND.

Motherboard - IDK It says Asus H110M-CS. HERE IS THE
[PIC](https://postimg.cc/gallery/c8Yv58M).

GPU - None.

Storage 1 - Crucial BX500 2.5 SSD 240Gb 5V  1.7A SATA 6Gb/s MDL:

Why don't you tell us what you want to do with it, 'self hosted cloud
storage' is a bit vague.

You can probably run all kinds of projects on it for personal use but
it might struggle with multi user media streaming, for example.

I want to make my own cloud storage from nextcloud like thing.

And Sorry I'm really not that into all these, just newbie so don't
know much ans that's why it is a bit vague

Like you said yourself, Nextcloud can be hosted on a PI so this should
do.

You can see the hardware requirements here : [https://docs.nextcloud.c
om/server/latest/admin\_manual/installation/system\_requirements.html]
(https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/sy
stem_requirements.html)

The CPU supports 64bit and your 4GB memory is way above the 128mb
minimum.

If you aren't using that PC for anything else, I would just go a head
and try and see how it works out.

Yes, nothing else, just a dedicated cloud storage server.
