Does anyone have any advice on a nuc that would be good to run a Plex server for mostly direct 4k streams locally? I have an older pc I could use but I was wondering if it made sense to run a lower power device as my old gaming pc would probably be overkill.
If you can tolerate a slightly larger form factor than a NUC, you can often find better deals on SFF PCs on ebay or from refurbished office equipment sellers. For example, a small Dell Optiplex or a HP or Lenovo would easily meet your spec requirements, plus they have space for a hard drive inisde.
