I think that the smaller you can get

with all boxes (like ECC RAM) ticked
AND
3.5 " disks

is the HP Microeserver Gen 10 Plus

the stock cpu cooler should be more than enough for that build, server builds are rarely going to be pushing the CPU like a gaming rig might. You only have a single HDD from what I can tell, you wont have any redundancy. Power supply is overkill unless you plan on loading up the HDDs later, id estimate that system under full load pulls less than 200 watts. You dont have a GPU, while you dont need one once the server is up and running, you will need it to set it up and do any additional work that is required when the server is not running. RAM isnt ECC, which comes heavily recommended here, but I dont believe its necessary for home servers. Would be a good idea to invest in a PCIE NIC from Intel, chances are that motherboard uses Realtek which is crap and can be a problem, especially if you plan on virtualization.

What is your use-case? And what about budget?
