Nope i5.
Slightly faster than the i7-7700, equiv cores, speed, etc. I've been using the i7 for awhile, fast enough, depending on what you need to do.
What exactly are you expecting to "fix" on either of these systems?
If the power supply goes out, you're going to have to replace it regardless of whether it's ATX or a barrel jack adapter.
If the processor on this dies, you're equally as unlikely to seek out a used 9500 on eBay as you are soldering in a new BGA.
The only off the shelf components that would make sense replacing are the RAM (very unlikely to go out on either system) or the hard drive (applicable to every system).
I don't think your reliability argument holds up if we're talking "repairability".
You can run a Plex server on an old phone or Raspberry Pi, so it's really about any additional requirements you may have.
Where this excels is in supporting Intel QuickSync, which allows you to transcode video files to other formats in realtime.
However, it doesn't support a large array of drives, so it's not the best setup if you have a growing collection.
It also isn't the most energy efficient system, so you would need to budget that out.
With all that in mind, you might want to look into a Raspberry Pi as well.
If you're streaming over a decent home network, you really don't need to be transcoding every stream. A Roku device with Plex installed will handle 4K native streams without changing formats.
At the same time, you might be fine with one large 18TB drive connected via USB.
And as far as power consumption goes, I've run such a setup on a Rpi4 using a backup battery.

Here are the specs of the machine I'm using: Dell OptiPlex 7060 Micro, 1x Intel Core i5 6 Core (i5-8500T) 2.10 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD. I paid $188 at the time
I did upgrade the RAM to 16 GB for less than $20 (got used RAM on eBay) and added a small SSD to run the operating systems.
Is frigate better than CPAI? How many hard drives can this thing handle? Currently running a I seven 2600 for my Blue Iris server with CPAaI. It still kind of handles it but wanted to upgrade to a beefier system. It seems like people are able to run code project AI on an M.two now or something like that. Do these things have 2pm.2 ports?
