Self build, qnap alternative for plex media server (transcoding)

#1
Hi
Your channel is amazing, very descriptive, informative and just helpful in every way.

I cant tell you how nice it is to hear these tutorials on YouTube from a fellow Englishman as opposed to all the yanks out there Smile


I was wondering if you could help me put together a hardware list (pcpartpicker) for my new plex media server to service my family (10 people in total, usually on average 6 people utilising in one go) as well as a network storage for sharing files and backup in my small home office with 2 additional people having to access at any one point locally

I would like the system to run docker for other work needs (testing and sandpit environments)

I was looking at something similar to the QNAP TVS-H874-I9-64g
I know its a 3.5k machine

However i was wondering if you believe possible to get similar performance from a custom build keeping pricing below 1500£

If yes what would be your selected parts (would you reckomend IPMI, hot swap, intel, integrated graphics etc )
