Please keep in mind that the advantage that Quick Sync has is that you can have many many streams active in Plex at the same time. This is good for sharing out Plex with friends.
If you don't share it out and use it by yourself or just your family, it may make more sense to actually build a NAS. Then just have its CPU do the transcoding for you in Plex. The only reason I went with a NUC and no longer run Plex on the actual NAS is so I can handle 10+ streams concurrently.
As far as 'more affordable', you can build a NAS out with reasonable specs that you can put your drives into that'll run Plex just fine for about the same price as this mini PC.
There are wonderful guides out there for how to do this on the cheap. I recommend this one to start out with: https://forums.serverbu

ah ah ok.
Yes. Got one for father in law with a deal on the 32 inch lenovo 1440p monitor. Whole setup for not much over 500 bucks. Perfect for his needs.
