3/1/2024 0 Comments Nas plex media serverMore than you need really unless you want to transcode 8k or multiple simultaneous 4k streams modern intel iGPUs especially a desktop one will transcode like a champ. If it is just plex you are running the 12th Gen i3 should be great. Therefore is a higher range i3 more than suitable? Mid or lower range i5? Do I need to prioritize quantity of cores? I guess in mind my main question around CPU selection, bearing in mind that these are modern gen Intels with iGPU. Power supply: Cooler Master MWE Bronze 450W Power Supply. ![]() Storage: 4 x 12TB Seagate Ironwolf Pro in Raid 5.Boot Drive: Samsung 980 250GB M.2 NVMe Internal SSD.4 Cores, has integrated graphics, has QuickSync. (Simply the most cost effective Mini-ITX in my resellers) Here is the build I have lined up thus far Keeping Power consumption light is also a priority. The Fractal Node 304 case (or equivalent) will suit nicely. I’m going for a Mini-ITX build for the aesthetics of a box on the shelf rather than a PC case. Reasons for upgrading are that I have too much media and need more than 2 drive support, but also as friends and family are streaming, I need more robust multi-stream and transcoding support. I am upgrading from using Synology DS220+, which will be returned to being only NAS and personal purposes. ![]() So, putting together a build with 11th or 12th gen components, and living with the fact that it will be a bit more costly! I’m not interested in chasing down second hand parts over Ebay. ![]() Have been reading the guides with great interest, thanks for such a great set of resources! But when trying to put together a build myself I find myself limited to the market in New Zealand - meaning it is all “latest and greatest” consumer grade stuff and there are no sellers of older components.
