I’m sorry if this isnt the right sub for this
I’m considering building a small rig whose primary function would be as a NAS with the capabilities for plex transcoding. On top of that i’d like to add more services like home assistant and some others.
For now the build would be:

| CPU | Intel Core i5-12400 2.5 GHz 6-Core Processor | €120.00 |

Now im asking my self if it is the case to go for a bigger case so if i happen to find a good priced gpu in the future, this would double as a part time gaming rig. Would that be non-sense?Also what OS should i use in that case? Dual boot sounds like a bad idea but idk
Sorry if my english isnt perfect
Any suggestion on the rig per se are also welcome
Are you living in the 90’? Hardware transcoding is a thing of the present.
I’d love to, which is why I was saying I would if I could get a GPU to fit in my 1u server chassis.
You can switch to a generic desktop PC with a desktop Intel CPU. Or change your server for a generic chassis and popolate with a desktop motherboard and CPU from Intel.
