Rule 1 - Don't be a dick

Don't be a dick. This includes any kind of trolling, baiting, etc. Bigotry may result in an instant permaban.


Rule 2 - No misleading or non-descriptive titles

No misleading or non-descriptive titles. Try to be brief but detailed.


Rule 3 - Keep post and comments relevant

Posts must be related to Plex and Plex-related products, apps. etc. Try to keep comments relevant to the parent comment and to the post.


Rule 4 - Keep discussions of "media aqcuistion" limited to means and methods only.

Discussions regarding media acquisition should be limited to the "how" not the "what", as this is not the place to discuss piracy of specific media. There are other communities for that, and we don't want to get this community defederated from instances where it's a forbidden topic. Posts/comments discussing specific acts of piracy ("How do I find X show?" or "Where can I download Y film?")will be removed. For further clarification see this post


Rule 5 - No asking / offering Plex shares.

Rule 7 - No referral / self-promotion / affiliate links, personal voting / campaigning / funding, or selling posts

I'd like to start a weekly share your build post every Saturday. This is a place to share your Plex Server builds and get advice on how to optimize/upgrade your server from other users!

I'm running a pretty modest build, just for my personal use:

  • 16 GB memory
  • AMD Radeon 6870M 2GB
  • 8TB Storage

  • PlexPass

What OS are you using? If Linux, how’s the support for AMD graphics?

Thinking about a mini PC build and want to consider AMD vs Intel vs Nvidia (which I think is out) for a small Plex setup.
