Hello everyone,

I am looking for a new home server to replace my existing hp proliant microserver gen8.

Requirements:

  1. Reduce power consumption. It currently runs at around 60 watts at idle, I would like to reduce that.

  2. Enough performance for various docker containers

  3. Enough power for 4k HDR video transcoding for a jellyfin container, whether graphics unit in the CPU or an additional graphics card doesn’t matter

  4. At least 4 SATA ports and space for 2 m.2 SSDs

  5. 16GB of RAM is a minimum

It doesn’t have to be a ready-made solution, I have no problem putting everything together myself.

Edit: Budget is ~500€

I pay around 34 €cents/kWh. That’s around €12 per month in electricity costs. Doesn’t sound like much, but if I could use less, I that would be nice

Do you mind including your budget in the OP? That would help others do their own calculations on electricity savings vs cost of hardware over time.

I’ve been monitoring this page https://gist.github.com/ironicbadger/5da9b321acbe6b6b53070437023b844d from https://yewtu.be/watch?v=ceUIUyZwchY

It’s showing some really interesting results for various processors and their efficiency while transcoding.
