    Yea after reading all these replies im leaning towwards unraid, i only chose it to start out because it was free, but if unraid is a better option and getting a licence is that expencive ill probs get it. im pretty settled on this case so buying prebuilt used on ebay is not really an option...

    so the igpu and the cpu should be able to handle the around 5-10 concurrent 1080p transcodes? also if i go the xeon route this would be my first time going with enterprise gear, is there anything specifically different about enterprise motherboards that i should look out for? Thanks so much for...

    Probably some cheap sata cards just to get the 12 data ports I need, I might in the future grab sone raid controllers and an extra GPU for VMs, but not to start with

    Other than Plex it will just be an actively used NAS and some small VM experimentation

    Is it worth using some of my budget for an unraid licence, given that FreeNAS seems that limited? Any specific motherboard CPU GPU combo recommendations?
