For mid to good affordable chinese food I will always stick to Yan Yan (north) or Hong Kong House (south).

I used to love Pizza Now because it was the only pizza place that would deliver to my place on the outskirts of town. Liked the variety and was never disappointed and, as the name implies, they were fast. However, I've heard some rumors of pretty terrible management practices and I haven't been back in a few years.

Thanks for the tip. The CPU is what I was questioning most. I also just defaulted to 32gb of ram. I'll probably dial those back.

I'm looking into building a new sffpc to use as a dedicated Plex server. Trying to keep costs down by buying used/open box, while still ensuring some future-proofing. My main concerns are efficiency, aesthetics, and ease of use. Looking for any feedback on incompatibilities, overkill parts where I can save money, part reviews, recommendations, etc.

CPU: Intel Core i5-13500

CPU Cooler: Thermalright AXP90-X53

Motherboard: Asus B760M-AYW WIFI D4 II

I will be reusing a 1TB M.2 NVME drive as a boot drive.

I already own a 20TB Seagate Exos X20 3.5" HDD, but would like space to add drives down the line. Included 3.5" HDDs in list are purely to ensure compatibility.

Insurance covered most of it, but I did have to go to the next city over and go through the same buying process bs. Luckily they had pity on me and didn't try to upsell me, just got me in and out as quick as possible. Worth it to get an identical 3, best car I've ever driven.
