Might be a dumb question, but one of these would be more then enough to run a Plex server right? No upgrades needed, using a NAS for storage.

You may want to go with an Intel processor if you need to do any hardware transcoding. AMD processors support it, but from what I've read, Plex's implementation of it isn't great.

Just a heads up that, if you're thinking of going the external-GPU route, I think Thunderbolt is limited to 4 PCIe lanes. Most high-end graphics cards use 16 lanes.

It's only a 15 to 20% performance hit on a gpu to be used with a tb3 dock it's not that big of a deal if you need the space saving of a mini pc though,

I got a N100 mini PC for $160 with 2x2.5GbE. This is obviously much more powerful than that though.

How does this compare to the Beelink SER5 Max? I just bought that for $320.

this would be a solid emulation / arcade PC. ordered one (16+512). For $230 shipped, I'll definitely find a use for it.

based on my experience, Beelink is slightly more durable. We retired a lot Intel NUC by Beelink in office and warehouse both with Ryzen 7, running 24 hr for over a year, they are all good. My Minisforum, TH80, fan control part stop working (not fan). Purchased on Nov.2022, dead Nov.2024, run 2-4 hour per day. Now I have to put external USB laptop fan to get heat out. My next will be Beelink, but have not decided if SER or GTR.

Bro, that's a 6900hx, it's technically overkill for Plex.
