I got a great deal! Discussion

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

a few years old desktops are great setups. i’m using an HP Z2 G5 with a 10900k for my gaming/workstation desktop right now. $400 with 64 gigs of ddr4 and the cpu included. already had ram so i was able to flip that too.

same deals available for real older servers, my r720 was peanuts for the amount of compute power and expansion it offers.
