Hey all. 👋
My google drive/photos is getting full and it gets annoying constantly trimming it i chose to building my first server.
Main use case is for plex, smb share and maybe something like Immich.
Secondary if possible, time wise and hardware wise some VMing like playing with Proxmox, vanilla trueNas etc.
Not now, not yet, maybe a year later some VMs for living room entertainment (game emulation & media player).
I have been looking in the market and i think my choices are like these. (prices with only one system NVMe)
⟦⟫ Second hand AMD Ryzen 7 5700G 350€ (if i play the waiting game, most second hand market is a bit dry)
⟦⟫ New AM5 Ryzen 7 8700G 480~550€
⟦⟫ AOOSTAR WTR PRO AMD Ryzen 7 5825u 530$ (which just right now got a price rise and i dont know how mutch it will be in €)
Any thoughs on my options?
I am looking for reasonable energy consumption and i dont know how the 8700G will fair on that.
By the way Intel is missing because i dont know there equivalen offerings and the second hand market is mostly AMD.
