Abstract: This research focuses on the successful implementation of a cost-effective mini-server by reusing an Android TV Box TX3 Mini running the Armbian/Linux operating system. The results demonstrate that this is a viable and energyefficient alternative to the Raspberry Pi, whose costs are increasing. With an initial investment cost of only about 33 USD and a low power consumption of 3.5 W in standby mode, the device achieves outstanding economic efficiency. The server has been tested and shown to perform well for light-load services such as static web hosting (NGINX Web Server) and file sharing (Samba File Server), achieving a network speed of 94 Mbps and a CPU performance of 650 events/s. This success not only provides a low-cost personal server solution but also makes a practical contribution to the circular economy, helping to reduce e-waste. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
