Harware and software advice

If your media matches your clients -- i.e., no transcoding -- you should be fine. I have an OptiPlex 3080 with an 8th gen i7 and it did just fine with running several things at once. If you're looking to transcode, I would say probably not a good choice. You want 8th gen Intel or later to take full advantage of QSV and it's still fairly slow in comparison to newer chips.
