I have a refurbished Lenovo Thinkcentre that I was running Truenas off of. Everything was working great, but it got hit with a power surge and after lots of trouble shooting it appears the motherboard is fried and I don’t trust my ability to soder and fix it.

No now I need to upgrade my setup. Wondering what is a good sub $300 computer I can order that will run Jellyfin, Immich, and a few light services off of? With Truenas you seem to need two SSDs. One to boot and one to run apps, so it seems like a mini PC will not work.

I have a seperate HDD drive bay with a few hdd’s in it full of shows and picture. Just need a PC to run my services.

I would prefer something I can order off Amazon or can be shipped quickly so I can get back up and running again.

    My E5-2667 v4 (8 cores, higher frequency) using almost nothing of energy while watching some asmr on freetube and responding:

    Edit: it has a higher tdp than the 2650 v4, and has 16gb of ddr4 ram

      11W is actually a lot lower than what I was expecting. It isn’t crazy efficient but it isn’t bad.

      Are you sure it supports DDR4? The Intel spec page says it has a clock of around 2.5GHz with DDR3 memory

        From dmidecode, DDR4:

        Edit: Broadwell supports both DDR3 and DDR4, with some caveats
