As the title states I am wondering what would be a good machine to build for my piracy. I am open to buying a used machine on eBay and expanding over time.

The last time I was sailing I had a Dell R610 Server Rack but I don’t have the space for this now. So something that can sit behind a tv stand in the corner next to the router.

  • I would be running Plex / Jellyfin
  • Some kind of torrent software
  • Something for NZBs if still viable
  • then the usual SONARR, RADARR, etc

I would like to be able to let friends connect from outside my house to stream media and allow them access so they can add films and the server goes off and finds them, extracts them, and adds them to the media server.

Thanks.

Thanks.

After a very quick scan on eBay it seems these are quite cheap. Which is nice.

I think around $40 depending on the model is a fair price. I have two at home and three in the works for off site backups lol. They're fun, frequently have surprising specs, and low energy draw

Interesting. The first listing I look at had the price ranging from. £80 - £185. So either very inflated price or newer model.

eBay

I bought one across the pond at a university used store then some at an e-recycler. I'm not surprised ebay is different. Hope you can find a fair price!

Thanks. I’ll try look for places local to me that might e-cycle or somewhere that handles old tech at companies or universities.
