Hi there! I recently found a small PC for free that I would like to use for Jellyfin, as my current NAS setup is getting older and slower. However, this new PC is a bit underpowered going off of the recommended hardware here. The PC has the following:
The server is never used by more than four people, usually just 1080p but 4k at times, would like to transcode.
It's an ACER Aspire XC-704 with its stock motherboard which looks like it's got room for SOME expansion. I've attached a picture to this thread.
My question is this: if you had this PC, what would you upgrade in order to make it JF worthy? Would you bother with this PC or would you look elsewhere? I got this for free so that's why I'm trying to make it work out, can look elsewhere if needed.
Thank you <3
