I have a home media server (which may or may not host an arr stack) running on a 5 year old i5 NUC withb16Gb RAM and two USB external SSDs for storage.
So far it manages for the household (3 users) perfectly fine.

I run my home media server ( and intel NUC i5, so nothing super powerful) running Ubuntu with CasaOS.
There’s tons of you tube videos to help with CasaOS for self hosting and not just the media side.
I think I only used the terminal to install CasaOS the rest is done from the web gui
My home media server is an old nuc mini pc i5 16Gb RAM with attached usb storage running on a Linux distro, runs Jellyfin and a few other applications for the household.
In short yes, an old pc will work fine.
I’m running sonarr, radarr, prowlarr, jellyseer, jellyfin and craftycontroller (minecraft server) all running on CasaOS on Ubuntu server. I also have Twingate connector installed on the host to allow secure access from outside the home.
