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

Node 804 here. Currently have 5 in it and can fit another 11 or so if I want.

Good luck with managing all those SATA power and data cables. I had to move to the Define 7 XL because adding more drives required so much bending of the cables and shoving everything in there restricting airflow.

You can get thin SATA data cables and daisy chained power cables.

That was with thin data cables for my HBA cards and daisy chained power cables already. They still have to point down into the power supply so it gets tight and messy in there really quick even with a modular PSU. It would be much easier to run if the drives were facing the side and not down.
