It is truly amazing how you can put a decent multimedia provider with minimal hardware, heck, my two units act as a PMS each, and it serves well enough my usage, my girlfriend and the one user that actually uses it remotely lol.

You can run Plex on a Raspberry Pi if you disable transcoding!

Yeah I know, but sooner or later you'd need transcoding, especially if you share your server :/

For sure! The only reason I upgraded is because the OptiPlex costs a lot to run in terms of electricity.

For stuff I pretty much run 24/7 I really wanted better power efficiency.
