Interesting box but way overkill for the average punter.

Yeah, for $1,000 with no memory or hard drives, plus it idles at 50 watts.

50w? Jesus, that’s a lot.

Looks awesome, just missing space for a GPU (often necessary for real-time transcoding).

dtrain@lemmy.world on 15 Oct 05:08 collapse

Not true.

I have one. And I have a half height gpu in it. Intel A310.

gianni@lemmy.ca on 16 Oct 18:44 collapse

Is that GPU useful for video transcoding?

dtrain@lemmy.world on 17 Oct 02:53 collapse

Absolutely.

I run unraid and their kernel version isn’t up to date to handle the cpu/gpu newness yet. So streaming a single 4k pinned my cpu.

This 100 dollar vid card handles at least 4 discrete 4k streams without breaking a sweat and my cpu has little to no activity…

Awesome.
