They are power and space efficient, and usually very quiet. That's fascinating enough.
I have acknowledged that they're that, but that's not what OP asked for - they asked for a cheap setup (which the minis ain't) and they intend to run a servarr instance, which implies large storage and those are both difficult and not cheap to cram into said minis.
It depends on your needs. I have minis that cost <100$ and have others that cost 500$. My cheapest mini has currently 3TB of backups of my personal things, so it serves my needs very cheaply. I don't need a GPU so it keeps the costs down.
