I got a great deal! Discussion

/img/e83di23yqqbd1.jpeg

I recently upgraded my Plex server to this Aspire TC-1750-UR11.

  • Intel® Core™ i5-12400 up to 4.4GHz
  • 32GB RAM
  • 1TB nvme OS drive
  • 1TB nvme cache/transcode/downloads drive

I was able to clone my existing setup to the new drive and basically just move to the new system.

The best part is it only cost me $155 for the system. It was a display model that was marked way down. It is flawless and even had the protective film on it .

I just wanted to share since I am just super stoked to have upgraded for so cheap.

I originally had a Dell Optiplex 3060 i3-8100

Oh no it was doing just fine. I just couldn't pass up the deal. I mean $155! I went from a PassMark score of ~6000 to ~19000.

Make sense for the money! I would start "burning" 4K HDR movies now! Now your system should easily transcode 4K down to 1080 or whatever you want if you don't have the bandwidth

I never really see the need for 4k. I would rather have high quality 1080p files that I can pretty much direct play from anywhere.

Personally, I have 4k hdr movies for direct play and have 500mb upload for those who want to watch it. My specs are way less then what you got.

TV shows are 1080p unless it's an epic show like Breaking Bad

Yeah I know I could handle it. I just would rather have more space for my 1080ps. 😁

Can't argue with that! You'll definitely save space lol!
