Bare minumum plex server

[utajoker]

Hi


I have a Synology that just can't do higher quality files without buffering every couple of seconds so i plan to use it as a nas.

So im looking at something bare minimum and cheap to run a plex server.

CPU, memory, mobo and PSU.

Also if it can be as low power usage as possible running 24/7.

Thanks,

I am using locally only, mainly streaming to my Samsung tv which has the plex app.

Everything is wired connection also.

I believe my Syno is transcoding as it hits 100% cpu usage when i play anything. It can't handle anything bigger than around 5mbps bitrate.

And i would like to run it 24/7 because i'm lazy and don't want to turn something on/off when ever i want to watch something. Which is why i bought the synology, its always on and i don't have to worry about it. Until it cant stream stuff...

It is but still buffers every few seconds.
