Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

This one. It's old, but with RAM and a GPU you'll be able to handle streaming/transcoding.
The problem with Dell/HP/Lenovo etc. PCs, especially smaller form factors, is that they're non-standard, as you found. And not just the motherboard mounts, but also the power supply connectors, and often other stuff too. And any feature found on a typical board, but not used in that particular model, will be missing, like multiple SATA ports, again as you found.
You could probably get a newer desktop for not much money, too.
To add on this, my server is running a 4790k, and that's plenty for all common tasks. While faster is always nicer, the threshold for good enough is very low for server tasks.
