Cheap Desktop Computer, suitable for Plex / Jellyfin, due to the Intel HD Graphics 630.
The PC has the following expansion potential:
- 2 x 3.5" HDDs
- 1 x 2.5" SSD
- 1 x M.2 2280 Gen 3
To get the most out of it, you'll need to purchase the following:
- HDDs / SSD / NVME (of course)
- Sata Cables (get short cables with one end as right-angle, as there isn't a lot of room in the drive bays)
- HDD Mounting Screws (8 x 3.5" for $9.50 and/or 8 x 2.5" for $8.50)

Seems odd for a business to be selling an (officially) non-compatible device with Windows 11 Pro. It is one thing when a knowledgeable user fires up Rufus to bypass requirements, but if/when an unitting buyer's Win 11 install breaks or stops receiving security updates that's entirely different.
