    Hey Folks,

    I picked up one of the below from Adverts and I'm unsure what to use it for. I was hoping for some inspiration here:

    Untitled Image

    It's got an Intel Core i5-8500T, 8GB of Ram (I'll upgrade to 16GB later) and a 480GB Kingston SSD. I believe there are two NVME M2 slots onboard so I can add expansion that way.

    I had been thinking for a while about making a machine that can back-up all of my photos (I have a daughter and photos are precious) but I guess that a proper small server with RAID functionality might be a better setup for that.

    The other option I was going with was to add more storage either by NVME or an external USB drive and turn it into a PLEX server. I have lots of content I haven't viewed/listened to in ages because I haven't had a convenient machine to store them on. I'm also fortunate that I've a nice TEAC DAC so could run USB out of this and into that and then into an amp for decent sound quality.

    Anywhoo, I'd appreciate some advice and ideas.
