Combining my two favorite money sinks/hobbies.

So... What are the specs of the PC?

Edit: I have no idea how to do strikethrough text here.

MBO: MSI Z270-A PRO
CPU: Intel G3930
RAM: DDR4 8GB
PSU: Corsair RM550X
FAN: 2x Arctic F12
3x SSD for OS and storage

Most of components were laying around and I wanted to build low power server. Its pulling 20-30W from the wall and its more than enough for my needs (media server, home assistant and some other lightweight apps), but I might need to upgrade RAM if I continue adding services 🙃

Very nice. Not doing any media transcoding I assume?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do! Didnt try 4k, but 1080p easy on 4+ devices

Really? With just the CPU? That's actually pretty impressive! I added a dedicated GPU for mine because the CPU was not cutting.

I think its called quicksync. If processor supports that transcoding becomes easy task afaik
