Looking for a new server (feddit.de)

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a new home server to replace my existing hp proliant microserver gen8.

Requirements:

Reduce power consumption. It currently runs at around 60 watts at idle, I would like to reduce that.
Enough performance for various docker containers
Enough power for 4k HDR video transcoding for a jellyfin container, whether graphics unit in the CPU or an additional graphics card doesn't matter
At least 4 SATA ports and space for 2 m.2 SSDs
16GB of RAM is a minimum

It doesn't have to be a ready-made solution, I have no problem putting everything together myself.

Edit: Budget is ~500€

Wow, that's pretty slick. Thanks, you may have just solved one of my project plans.

At that price/performance, it would supplant 4 Raspberry Pis I was planning on using for a variety of tasks.

I've been lazily running a gaming desktop as a "server" for far too long. Trying to reduce power consumption now.

It's pretty sweet. I went the other way, starting on a Pi 4, moved up to a cheap ($110) Celeron N3350 device, then finally this little beast when I started getting HDR content and needing to transcode with tonemapping. 4 times the RAM, double the cores and it's just way faster in general.

It'd also be perfect for light desktop use IMO
