New JF Server Build

[TheDreadPirate]

Case: Silverstone makes a few standard ATX rail mounted cases. @Venson purchased one (or more) of them and he seems happy with them.

CPU/Mobo: If I were to rebuild my system knowing I'd be getting an Arc GPU (I initially didn't) I would have gotten an AMD CPU. Better performance on lower end CPUs and better performance per watt. Not that I'm running into any CPU performance issues. Not even close. Even with all turboing disabled. Really, other applications you run on this system will dictate what CPU you need and how many cores it should have. Both Intel and AMD board vendors have models with 10G NICs.

RAM: Similar to the above, the other applications you run on this system will determine how much RAM you ultimately need. 16GB is more than enough if you only run Jellyfin. I run 3 Jellyfin instances on my server (main, test, unstable), and 15 other Docker containers, AND an 8GB RAM disk for transcodes and I still have some to spare with 32GB of RAM.

GPU: If this will only be used for trancoding, Intel. Whether that be Arc or Battlemage. Battlemage appears to have much lower idle power usage when ASPM is supported on the motherboard.
