Planning an Office Streaming Server

[Mr.Wick]

Budget (including currency): USD... budget is unclear but most likely looking for bang for the buck. 

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for:  This is mainly going to be a streaming Plex Style server (no game streaming). At most 25 streaming from the same machine at the same time.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I'm not looking to build this. I'm looking to buy a preconfigured rig that comes with support as I won't be personally supporting it and I don't want to drive out and install it. Just looking to recommend the best bang for the buck system that I can get preconfigured from iBuyPower or CyberPower since those 2 use real parts instead of cut down parts like those found in HP or Dell.

What programs are you using? Plex?

 

Does it need to to transcoding?

 

Id highly suggest just getting a server from dell/hpe/lenovo here. There servers are much higher quality than any of the off the shelf server parts you can get, and just work better.

 

Budget?

 

How much storage do you need? What network connections?

 

Pretty hard to give any hard recommendations without more details. I
