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:

    27" iMac (Mid-2011)

    • i7-2600 @ 3.4GHz
    • 16 GB memory
    • AMD Radeon 6870M 2GB
    • 8TB Storage
    • macOS 10.13 High Sierra
    • 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.

      I’m in a similar boat with an old HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF that was going to be binned at a previous job of mine. It has an i5-3470 and 8 GB of RAM running Windows 10 Pro. It only has a 500 GB internal HDD, so I have an external 6 TB hard drive plugged up to it. No USB 3.0 ports, though.

      Similar thought process on the hardware upgrade side, too. It would be wonderful, but with pretty much just my household using it all I’m really missing out on is 4K transcoding.
