    Anyone know if this would work as a Plex server / Jellyfin server?

      Yes it would. You will need to see if you are going to transcoder or not. But for direct play this is good

    • Frederico Z on 13/08/2024 - 15:11

      I've been running a lower spec ACER i3/ 8G RAM mini desktop to run Plex/ SabNZBDplus/ pyMedia/ Radarr on headless Linux.

      FORGOT: This thing is also running mythtv-backend using a USB DBTV tuner, but theses days we only use it during the footy season coz there's no way I'm paying moneys to murdock.

      files are served from a 16 year old HP-Proliant microserver with 20T HDD array.

      No complaints.

      • TheFreaK on 13/08/2024 - 15:42

        Is that for live footy? In which case I'm curious why not just connect the coax directly into the TV itself

        • Frederico Z on 13/08/2024 - 15:45
          +12

          We record & pick it up about 40minutes to skip the ads. That way when it gets to the quarter that matters it's all prettymuch in sync ;-)

      • DARK KHAOS on 13/08/2024 - 19:39

        xpenology? On the microserver?

      • RedHab on 14/08/2024 - 04:40

        Glad to see someone else is still rockin' an HP Microserver.

        Got mine for ~$180 way back - probably the best OzBargain I ever got

        • Frederico Z on 14/08/2024 - 12:55
          +1

          It's proven to be a gem of a thing. Solid as.

      • TerryJustTerry on 15/08/2024 - 11:03

        Thanks for the info :)

        I am thinking of something similar, do you connect via another household or just when you are at home ?

    • decryption on 13/08/2024 - 15:48
      +2

      The built-in GPU supports QuickSync and can decode/encode 4K HEVC, so yeah, should be alright.

      • Ozzster on 13/08/2024 - 17:59
        +2

        Bitrate matters. If CPU is this slow the decoder may not run well with 50mb/s videos in 4k. But if this is not 4k or some rip with 15mb/s should be fine.

    • rumblytangara on 14/08/2024 - 06:59

      You'd think that this is such a frequently asked question that… Plex or Jellyfin would have an entire page describing it.

  • hippo2s on 13/08/2024 - 15:13

    What brand are the SSD and are they also second hand? Or are they new?

  • The-Real Team Doge on 13/08/2024 - 15:13

    Do these have the sled for a 2.5" drive inside?

    It also looks like the memory is upgradable and has 2x M.2 slots inside too? (judging from this chassis opening video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi1D8-R_eNc)

    • Frederico Z on 13/08/2024 - 15:19
      +1

      Regarding the m.2 slots be sure they can address the size SDDs you want to install. I've had issues with older ACER notebooks and minis not recognising m.2 SDDs larger than 256G.

      • kogi on 13/08/2024 - 18:03

        I have the i5 8th gen version, and it's running a 4tb nvme drive

    • netbies on 13/08/2024 - 15:49
      +2

      Got one last time it does not have the 2.5 tray in there nor connection cable. The wifi included in just a cheap usb dongle. Ended up in the bin for me.

      • binks on 13/08/2024 - 16:15

        Can you confirm if this has 2x M.2 slot for nvme ??

        • netbies on 13/08/2024 - 16:55

          Yes. It does have 2x M.2 slot.

  • tgame on 13/08/2024 - 15:13

    8100T or N100?

    • ReaperX22 on 13/08/2024 - 15:29
      +4

      N100 is a touch slower but draws less power.

      Probably more comes down to buying a newer/new N100 based machine vs a refurb older machine…

      I went for the latter, I have a 8500t running proxmox/a few vms. (I'm aware the 8500t isnt a direct comparison, but I do also like/prefer the idea of re-using older hardware that's plenty capable).

    • abs898 on 13/08/2024 - 15:32
      +2

      My personal experience with a more stable build has been better, had to return my Kamurai n100 twice due to build issue

      Also my use case is mainly Plex, radarr etc so it worked well.

  • Chunyiu02 on 13/08/2024 - 15:38

    This or https://amzn.asia/d/4ircyMH compare to 10th gen
    ?

    • axcairns on 13/08/2024 - 16:34

      Is that 3x more capable than this one?

    • theUnderdog on 13/08/2024 - 23:01

      Using one of these to host Blue Iris with 8 tapo c210. Cheaper and better han most NVR

      • fufufu on 14/08/2024 - 05:55

        Details please? Are the camera connected via WiFi or do they need to be connected using very long network cable? I have a few c210 cameras too.

    • BROKENKEYBOARD on 13/08/2024 - 16:12

      Can you link where it says it's not supported? 8th gen is supposed to be supported.

    • bargaino on 13/08/2024 - 16:18
      +4

      Wrong, 8th gen is the minimum for official win11.

    • ihfree on 13/08/2024 - 16:21

      8100t is on the list - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/mi…

    • Max999 on 13/08/2024 - 16:24

      Great, thank you guys for pointing out 8th gen is supported.

      I remembered I had a work pc with 8th gen chip and was not allowed to upgrade to windows 11 and hence the question.

      Apparently my memory failed me.

      • Ozzster on 13/08/2024 - 18:02
        +1

        Still may be not upgradeable for another reason.

        Could be the TPM 2.0?

  • jbird84 on 13/08/2024 - 16:29

    Possibly silly question given it's a desktop processor, but can these be powered via the type-c port? One of my hesitations in buying these would be a reliance on a specific adapter

    • hippo2s on 13/08/2024 - 16:39
      +2

      DC barrell power plug. Too old and desktop spec to be powered by USB c.

      I believe these only have a type C port on front for data and charging TO other devices.

    • ihfree on 13/08/2024 - 16:56
      +1

      There are some USB-C-to-barrel connectors that you might be able to use.

    https://www.lwt.com.au/Brochures/N4660%20Spec%20Sheet.pdf

    10100 is 65W full fat
    8100T is only 35W!!! but apparently 28% slower on avg (single and multi core)

  • hippo2s on 13/08/2024 - 17:35

    @OP can you tell us about the SSD condition type and age? i saw the mobo has M.2 slots x2 for storage, M.2 slot x1 for network (short one), but also it looked like it has SATA connector?

    So what is the condition of the SSD / are they originals or brand new? are they 2.5inch sata? or m.2 drive?

    • MarketingMetroCom @ metrocom on 13/08/2024 - 17:41

      Hi it will be 2.5 inch, used but tested in good health.

      • netbies on 13/08/2024 - 18:06
        +1

        Will it mound in the proper 2.5 tray?

  • vince088 on 13/08/2024 - 17:47

    I dont game anymore, are these good enough for just youtube and movies?

    • hippo2s on 13/08/2024 - 18:31
      +3

      More than enough. My wife does MS Office, browsers based SAAS, zoom calls, kids does YouTube and watch DVD on an older Veriton with a 6th gen which is a good 18 or so % slower than the 8100T even. The CPU in that is 10 years old now!

      If you want a bit of future proofing suggest get the 10th gen with 16GB.

      • slankets on 13/08/2024 - 18:41

        Depends on budget. For YouTube I'd just pay $109.

        • hippo2s on 13/08/2024 - 19:12

          hmmm.. this has a PCI-e 16x slot… which means you could run a pci e cable to outside of the case and run a GPU for mid-tier gaming.

          • buffalo bill on 13/08/2024 - 20:53

            @hippo2s: I believe there is some acer gpu enclosure that could be found and also a 3d printed bracket too

      • vince088 on 13/08/2024 - 20:56

        thanks!

  • JigBew on 13/08/2024 - 18:10

    I just received my HP T640, which is still on sale despite the expired tag.

    The Ryzen RG1505G has been surprisingly good and at 12W TDP.

    Mine came with WiFi 5 & BT5.1 internal.

    Only downside is you would need a bigger NVME, RAM was two sticks.

    • TerryJustTerry on 15/08/2024 - 11:04

      Oh that one looks very nice, I might look into getting that for a headless plex server :)

  • WadeOhh on 13/08/2024 - 22:09

    Anyone have any knowledge, or have any experience, with a machine like this inside an arcade cabinet, basically just running MAME? I imagine stock MAME would be ok, but how would it go once BGFX filters and whatnot are applied that require a bit more horsepower?

    • ju2au on 14/08/2024 - 00:43

      Pretty sure that it will be more than capable. I used to run MAME and various emulators on a PC with i3-3220 (3rd Gen) and 8GB RAM. No issues with performances what-so-ever.

  • Landahoy on 13/08/2024 - 22:38

    Will it work for a 1050/1650 Low Profile? Really interested in limited gaming on this thing.

  • hendo77 on 14/08/2024 - 00:39

      They're just the common SODIMM DDR4 from laptop.
