Server suggestions?
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...
