    If you want a cheap/low-power PC for running a Jellyfin server, I would look at getting a mini PC with at least an Intel N100 CPU so that you can take advantage of Quick Sync for HWA.

    Without knowing much about the GPU, it looks like your transcodes will need to be done exclusively on the CPU on that system you're looking at using.
    Should be fine if you can direct play all your media to avoid transcoding but not so much if you do need to transcode.
