Looking to offload Plex from my gaming PC (lemmy.world)

I am looking to basically just transition to a small time, forever on, server to support my growing Plex footprint. I don't need anything top of the line, and I've already crimped my lines to the room.

What's the most cost effective way to go about this? Figured i would come to the pros.

Thanks!

Same! Plex pass <100. I'm on a 12900HX now which does well for all h.265 content. The difference is I'm bare metal vs Docker or VM. I've got 3 micro PCs all running various things, a couple pis, etc. I like virtualization, but I like separating stuff out to not over utilize, nor worry about 1 system crash taking it all down.
