Hello everyone,

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

Requirements:

  1. Reduce power consumption. It currently runs at around 60 watts at idle, I would like to reduce that.

  2. Enough performance for various docker containers

  3. 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

  4. At least 4 SATA ports and space for 2 m.2 SSDs

  5. 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.
