This would make a good Plex transcoder box if needed. 11th gen has HEVC 12-bit decode which provides some future proofing, as I doubt anyone has that type of media commonly.

I got this for my dad a little while back. He doesn't run anything heavy but it's been rock solid for him. He keeps telling me how fast it is, but he's coming from something ancient lol.

Pretty easy. It comes with 2 slots so you can add an extra 8gb/16gb to the stock or just replace the 8gb completely. I use a 32gb kit from Newegg.

edit: for those lazy to ready, this is too small for most GPus. The PSu is non-standard, so can't replace easily. Prob only GPUs that are buspowered can be used.
