Build Advice I looking to build a Jellyfin server ?

[bentheblobfish]

Im currently looking to build a Jellyfin server/NAS (with unRAID) and I'm looking to buy a Lenovo Thinkcentre 910t (8GB ram, i5 7500) and install a few HDD's to increase storage. Does this seem like it would work? Should I upgrade to 16gb and how meaningful would that be? For reference, I'll be streaming at 1080p.

If the system is only going to be a jellyfin server, 16GB is I would argue that its kind of overkill even with 3 - 4 users hammering the server at the same time.

Though do keep in mind if you do use a device that can't do direct streaming, that CPU's IGPU can do about 3ish 4k transcodes, and if it has to transcode a 1080p video, it should be able to handle 5+ pretty well but most devices should do direct stream without any fighting with it. So I'd say its pretty good system for Jellyfin.
