    I have used Jellyfin for about 3 months on my main tower which uses a lot of power and I feel like leaving a beefyish computer on for 8-10 hours a day might be bad? I've been looking at used Dell Optiplex's and cheap laptops to keep on for days. On Ebay almost all of them are under $75 which is perfect, I really don't want to spend more than $100. I have an 8tb HDD in my PC right now which I plan on moving into whatever I buy.

    But if I do buy something I mainly plan on having Jellyfin, qbit, prowlarr, sonarr, radarr, some reverse proxy stuff, with 1-3 people connected at a time.
    So far I have my eyes on a 9020 optiplex, intel i7-4790 16gb ddr3 ram but no HDD included. (I should be able to just insert my 8tb HDD)

    I'd like some input on this. Like maybe I could go cheaper but still have great quality and a stable stream.

    Any and all comments are appreciated, if you want more info please ask I'm willing to answer!
