    Hi Guys,

    So I'm in the process of building a home server for a friend.
    He wants to be able to transcode video files on the fly when the video format is not compliant with the device requesting the stream.
    The Media server would hold 4K videos in HDR and DTS audio.

    Aside from streaming movies/series trought Jellyfin the system will also host a handful of Docker containers.
    As OS, I will use Ubuntu.

    I focused on assembling the most cost effective system with also keeping power usage in mind.
    Also there is only 1 drive for data, since the system will not be holding any critical data, so losing it is not that big of a deal.

    The setup that i have put together:
    - Motherboard/CPU combo: ASRock N100DC-ITX
    - 19v Power adapter to power the motherboard
    - 1 x 32 GB memory (Kingston KF432C16BB/32)
    - 16TB HHD (Seagate ST16000NM001G)
    - M.2 SSD 500 GB (Crucial CT500P3SSDNerd-face

    What do you guys think of this setup?

    Thanks in advance!!
