Good, that’s how things are supposed to work!
If a politician is so out of the loop that they have no idea what their own voters want, they should not be in office. Nice to see that work for once since it feels like it rarely does.

The SFF or MT form factors are a lot better, I’d say MT is the best as it has full height PCIe slots. Keep in mind the dell/hp/lenovo models all use proprietary motherboard form factors and power supplies, but not that big of a deal I think since there are so many parts available if something does break.
I highly recommend 7th gen intel or newer, as you get the much better quicksync support and quality.
If you get a desktop class CPU (i5-7500 for example), the whole computer will typically draw around 15W at idle with an SSD, which is pretty decent.
If you need less idle power draw then you’ll want a mobile/notebook class CPU (like an i3-7100u) as the idle usage should be less than 5W. But those typically only come in the micro/mini form factors.
Also good to remember that every 3.5" HDD draws around 7W when idle and spun-up (typically difficult to spin down on servers since there’s always some process accessing files).


Yeah any extra fabs able to produce ‘last gen’ DDR4 would have a big impact.

The immich public proxy app is built for this, you run it on your isolated public VLAN, and it displays a shared album to people while loading the images from immich.
