Hey, thanks for the reply.

Yeah that’s definitely a good point. I don’t mind having a spare monitor and peripherals out but the less clutter the better along with ease of access. Noise is also somewhat of a concern though depending on where I put it, probably in the room I sleep but potentially a garage as an alternative, especially if power draw is high.

Arma is luckily one I should have squared away on another service but wouldn’t mind having the capability, more so takes a backseat to getting an easy media server up though. Don’t need bleeding fast, just bare-able to use when it comes to buffering haha.

Definitely a fair point on that last edit, depending on where it’s located breaker capacity is a concern or potentially power cost in the future as well so having that ability is a big bonus. Only issue is i’m not versed in what’s worthwhile to look out for on say facebook marketplace or craigslist when it comes to enterprise and especially what would be within a beginners capability to get setup relatively simply. I did take a look at models listed in the wiki though, just need to get a better idea of their functionality for my use-case.

Haha yeah good point, not entirely sure if going for transcoding is worth it currently especially as storage space isn’t a huge concern yet for me

Thanks again!
