Hey all, just wondering what others are using for a rack mount server option. I don’t want to break the bank, and I have a P2000 I plan to use for transcoding. I had picked up a Hyze Zeus server, but unfortunately, the GPU won’t fit in that box. I plan to have this machine dedicated to Plex. All of my data will be stored on my trunas server and server up to plex via NFS shares, so the server doesn’t need much storage capacity. I would prefer the server to be a 1u rack mount… but if 2u is going to offer the best option, I will settle for 2u.
Honestly, a modern Intel processor with quick sync will do a far better job of transcoding than that p2000.
