    My Plex server using parts from 2013

    • i7 3770s
    • H61 mobo
    • 16GB RAM
    • Rosewood HIVE PSU
    • 7TB HDD storage
    • 256GB SSD storage
    • upgraded PCie network card

    It was an old business PC that used a celeron which didn’t handle Plex streams very well but I upgraded the H61 BIOS to accept 3rd gen i7 CPUs and the 3770s does a great job even with multiple streams going at once.

    Besides Plex it’s basically my seedbox and I have F@H running on 2 cores 24/7 to make use of the fact that it’s always on. It’s such a simple machine but I love it.
