What do I need to run a home server on a raspberry pi

I'm just starting out with learning cyber security and I really want to build my own home server but for now I don't want to use a whole new pc just for the server and I saw that raspberry pi can be used for one,

Now I really don't know a lot yet so I don't know what components and stuff I really need for that to work but I wanna try to do it on my own so if someone can help me with the stuff I need to buy for that I would be really glad,

I want the raspberry pi connected to some kind of hard drive rig to use as a cloud storage system and I do have 2 hard drives I took from my old laptops a year ago and I want to use ssd's for it because from my experience they're more reliable and I do want to buy a small screen I could connect to it to tinker with the server more easily and not have to plug it to a big monitor,

(Btw sorry if what I'm saying doesn't really make sense English is my third language and I'm still very much new to actually building and tinkering with computing systems because the closest thing I had to that was building my current pc rig)

Thanks in advance for any form of help and I would be welcome here and I hope I could start building my career in the cyber security and IT field here!

:3 Edit: thanks to everyone who's commenting and after reading and checking prices I will probably buy a second hand mini pc because I don't have the space rn for a full sized pc
