How much are all your subscriptions?In how many months will this baby pay for itself?You can get even cheaper desktop PCs that are refurbished.You're not gaming on themYou're not video editingYou plug the HDMI of this bad boy directly into your fucking TV and you suddenly have infinite watchability.You could even read comics on your TV. I've done it. It's awesome.
boom let me cut off the critic's balls at the pass. From the comfort of your couch you can control your computer completely in a handy convenient controller style keyboard with a touch pad.There are even cheaper ones than this. There are much nicer ones too.If you're subscribed to multiple streaming services then in less than a year this bad boy will have paid for itself, and it will continue to save you money into perpetuity. This thing will never be too obsolete to play videos. It can already do much higher than 4k video so your TV is the real limiting factor.
Since you already love making monthly payments, this entire 300+ package could just be bought with a credit card. Before anyone wants to start going >abloo bloo im so poor! never suggest you buy anything bloo blooPoor people buy useless shit all the time, this is useful.

>>152786901>7500Complete trash.8th Intel or better. Dell Minins of 11th Intel are amazing and Lenovo has tiny machines with AMD
>>152787054Anon is just trying to move his dog ass PC towers snd I for one respect the hustle.
>>152786901>How much are all your subscriptions?Like $20>In how many months will this baby pay for itself?Over a year, and that's not accounting for the non-TV benefit I get from my subscription>>152787407I dunno, I had a dell a long time ago and that thing trucked on for fucking ages. Maybe they're trash now, I wouldn't know.Every HP product I've ever interacted with was a massive piece of shit though.
>>152786901500GB storage won't get you much unless you plan on adding another, either internal or external and SSD's tend to slow down the fuller they get. If all you're going to put on it is comics and cartoons though then I think it might be fine. Be lucky you don't have to deal with anime where fags try to bloat max 480p shows into 4k 7GB per episode and requiring better hardware just to play.>Windows 11Modern Windows is so fucking bloated that its going to eat up most of the 4GB of RAM unless again you plan on getting more RAM for it and news flash, there's been an ongoing RAM shortage. If all you want to do it stream your stuff you could always build your own home server for much cheaper and better hardware or buy a NAS. A NAS is more retard friendly and built for streaming your stuff, you can even use the ethernet for faster speeds but I think NAS's cost a bit more these days. Both home server and NAS software are much more light weight too compared to Windows 11. I don't think there's nothing too wrong with your pic but always good to consider your options.

>>152786901wrong board for this kind of thread imo also i got a newer optiplex model with a 10th gen i3 for less than that on ebay you should check there there are good deals>You're not gaming on them>You're not video editingyes i do jkust on my main system not the optiplex which is for plex/jellyfin
comics and cartoons?
while we're here i might as well ask is there anything like plex/jellyfin for cbr files? that way i could make a library of manga/comics and let my friends access it ?
>>152786927Get on my level, dweeb!
>>152788721There are millions of people who just don't know any better, and/or their big excuse is that whatever content they get online like that they can't view on their TV. They need to spend hundreds of dollars on hardware: the TV the cable boxes, the streaming boxes, the smart TV features; and hundreds more on services into perpetuity.Then you suggest they buy the cheapest desktop computer they can get their hands on to watch all that stuff and more for free unlimitedly, and they'll say it's too expensive.
>>152787455>>152788675>>152790184>>152791223This was an amazon search for "desktop computer" sorted by price lowest to highest, and that was the first result that wasnt a periferal.If you're a computer snob(and oyu should be), it's worth it to get a nicer computer so you can game on it, and store many millions of hours of high quality media.For myself, the OP, that's what I did. I bought a new computer. New computer is on my desk, old computer is on my TV. I did use a cheap DELL at first and it was frustrating how slow it was sometimes, but commercials are 1,000 times more prevalent and annoying. Having a show I like removed from a service is more prevalent and more annoying. Having every app be retardedly slow to respond, and the interface be aggravating is part of the smart tv experience. The point is, it worked and it was cheap. It was plenty powerful to run emulators on too.
>>152791332I ran an extra long USB cable from the tower to my couch, and into a USB hub with it's own power supply so we can all charge our phones, and plug in controllers right by where we sit.

>>152786901that's terrible for the price. the cpu isn't even 6 core
>>152788675>internal or external and SSD's tend to slow down the fuller they getNot meaningfully for video. I have about 100tb in my NAS, on a mix of 20-24tb shucked external drives and older 6-10tb drives, a lot of them are 90-95% full. I can stream 4k video and bloated-ass weebshit from nyaa with no problem through kodi on my shield connected to my TV. The bigger problem would be internal wireless network speeds if you have a big house and can't get a wired connection going.
>>152786901That baby is worth $20 and no more than that.
>>152791232Kariba, komga or ubooquity. Ubooquity is really old now and doesn't deal well with rar5 files or really large books, but it is the simplest and most low maintenance once you get over the hurdles of the initial install.

>>152794369ok i will check them out thank you anon
>>152786901>You're not gaming on themOk but what if I wanted to game on it a little? What would be a decent prebuilt computer that can handle some relatively current games on it? And sometimes I do some video editing.

If you know what you're doing you can setup the Arr suite of programs on it and you'll have a better setup than paycucks can get with streaming. Your mileage may vary if your internet is shit, though.
>>152786901This thing is garbage and still has twice the RAM my 1000 dollar prebuilt gaming PC does. What the fuck man?

>>152787407Based and true.
Planning on doing a Proxmox home media setup at some point when I can invest some dough into getting a little Lenovo or Dell or something. I'd love to have the minis and not the bigger SFF's, but I'd also like to have space to add lots more drives in the future. Torn between doing a separate NAS or just getting one SFF machine for now and maybe look at the NAS stuff later if need be. Going the separate NAS route adds extra cost that I'd like to avoid now, but maybe in the future I might have more the splurge on this. Though not in a rush to get started thanks to the AI boom inflated prices on anything computing, and gotta solve some other financial challenges before that.
>Get PS5 from Raylo>Have to give it back after the lease expiresHighway robbery! At least Rent-A-Center has the decency to let you keep your things after you pay them off! Subscriptionkikes really do want you to own nothing and I hope none of you actually do this!
