I have the exact same board! Similar vintage, keycaps are all polished, but everything is perfectly legible. Great keyboard!

A big fan of the HP elite desk line. Specifically the mini form factor. Also the Intel version for quick sync.

iGPU for low power draw, but can still handle a transcode or two for Jellyfin.

Cheap as a refurbish on eBay.

My server is currently sitting at 1.5 years of uptime, hosting Jellyfin, minecraft, adguard, and a while suitr of other tools!
