    If you don't need AV1 encoding, a lot of people have gotten Beelink Intel N100 equipped mini PCs and have praised the performance and performance per watt.

    Since you have a NAS already, you don't have to worry about about directly attaching hard drives to the mini PC.

    Honestly, the price for that is pretty amazing considering it already has RAM and a SSD.  I had to do a double take when I noticed it already had those.  I thought it was a bare bones system.

    Thanks for the advice and link. I'll look into that for sure!
