    I’m using the same, Dell OptiPlex SFF.

    Has an M2 for the OS, put a full size 8TB drive in for data. I run multiple VMs in VMware on Windows (yep, I know, not the best approach).

    It has 32GB of RAM, and it does fine simultaneously converting video and streaming it via Jellyfin. My data is locally replicated to two other systems: a NAS that’s too slow to actually host anything, and a low power machine just for replication.

    What I would do differently: run Linux and use KVM of some sort.

    Currently it idles at about 15w, peaks at 80w when converting. It’s practically silent at idle.

    Paid next to nothing for the box (~$50), most costs are in the ram and drive upgrade.
