So I am finally going to get around to setting up a dedicated media server with network storage and all that. I have previously read up and decided on this Beelink Mini S12 PC. But I have heard about lots of problems with some of the latest intel chips and such. Does that affect this mini pc?

And since it has been nearly a year, is that still the best idea for a media server? I mostly want it to be quite since it is always on, and I don’t want to hear it down the hall in my bedroom at night like my current windows pc. But outside of that, whatever works best. It seems pretty inexpensive compared to what I was expecting.

Shouldn’t have troubles since it’s 12th gen.

I have a Beelink with an 8th gen i5 that I bought a year or two ago and I love it. Runs Plex 24/7 right next to one of my tvs and the only time I hear it is if I’m in the same room when someone wakes it up to start a stream. The fan kicks in for 2-3 seconds then goes quiet.
