Looking for ideas or reccommendations. Currently run Plex on windows as a H-V guest. The host is a 2U intel server, can do a GPU but currently do not have one. (Need to check the max supply from the motherboard, but I have a port and cable that can supply a GPU).
I'm looking for either something "like" a tiny that can be tossed on the rack to run the VM and pass through the I-GPU, or ideas for a GPU. The host e5-2650 v2 just can't transcode high res.
If the unit is in rack, it will be battery backed up and could get connected via SFP+ for storage access.
I want to stay under $200. 8gb ram is sufficient, and storage doesn't really matter.
Do I
a: get something like a p400/p600/p620/t400? All fall under arbitrary budget...
b: ideas for small/quiet (rack mount?) intel core 7th gen+ box with 10GBe and 8gb ram?
