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€

Sounds nice. What kind of optiplex exactly?
I believe it is a micro 3070. Amazon link just for example, but very easy to find under $250 and very low power consumption. https://www.amazon.com/Dell-OptiPlex-3070-Desktop-Computer/dp/B07TTCJB2P?th=1
