Windows 10/11 is a requirement because it will be a shared console, sorry y’all. I’m considering a refurb’ed model on eBay because some include Win10 Pro licenses, which would save ~$80 versus building from scratch.
The PC would be used for streaming media through Plex and maybe some light gaming via SteamLink, so specs aren’t very important as long as it can handle basic web browsing and graphic output.
Has anyone here had any experience with these? I would imagine they’re pretty no-fuss boxes given that they’re business-class units, but I also understand that they’re several years old. What’ the upgradeability of them like? What specific models/SKUs would be recommended for this use / are there any other SFF PCs that are comparable?
My advice would be to go for a 7th gen or upwards if your going intel as the processers igpu is what I would consider your minimum, secondly massgrave.dev should sort out your activation/licensing issues and also look into sunshine/moonlight for game streaming rather than steam link potentially
Appreciated. It may be worth it to just build a SFF after all. Never heard of massgrave before. QRD?
I’m not familiar with QRD?
Quick run down?
