So: the raw hardware should be fast enough.

That netbook is usable and yet has a processor with a small fraction of the CPU crunch. I have a netbook that came with Win7 and an AMD C-50. I don't imagine that that is true for Win 7. I have noticed that I find Win 8.1's desktop (which I rarely use) seems annoyingly slow without an SSD. I switched my father to Linux a few years ago after he kept getting malware and he didn't mind. Linux won't run the programs that your mother is familiar with. I run Linux on much slower machines and they work fine. If you mean "it doesn't work any longer", that too ought to be reversible. Hardware usually doesn't spontaneously slow down (however disk drives that are struggling with recoverable errors sure do slow down). What does "on the fritz" mean? If it means that it suddenly slowed down, that sounds like a reversible condition. It is obsolescent, so investing more time and money may not be worthwhile.

All components seem to be better than should be required. but that's dubious as the HEVC encoding is now being integrated into GPU acceleration to reduce the workload.Your hardware should be plenty good enough for the tasks you've listed. You could also still use the $300 N54L as your workhorse 5 drive NAS, and have a separate 35w box for emby/plex encoding.Īn i3 intel / gigabyte NUC will probably have enough GPU grunt using the onboard GPU to do h264 encoding, and perhaps the i5 will handle HEVC, h265 encodes in realtime. The atom can handle 7p if it's using QuickSync, but that requires either offline transcoding (uses a ton of space to keep plex/emby cached copies of files for streaming), or a pretty good CPU, or a transcoder that supports QuickSync replacing the existing ffmpeg on plex/emby. you'd have to replace the ffmpeg that comes with plex.)

The custom miITX boards use the intel haswell atom / i3 / xeon e3 chips can handle 1080p transcodes, though, this is a software problem (intel QuickSync requires the inel MSDK, which means windows, eventually, linux/BSD. has the capability of various plex and NAS CPU's.

Although not very powerful compared to PC s of the time Nvidia ION based Nettop PC s such as the Acer Revo R3600 series and the AsRock ION 330 where very popular for playing HD video. I have a Foxconn Destroyer nVidea nForce 780a SLI motherboard. If you want a NAS, it still looks like a custom microITX or the HP proliant microserver, the Gen 8 G1610 with a socket 1155 i3 or xeon E3 CPU as a replacement. The Plex server runs in the basement on a much larger desktop-grade Athlon CPU.

It sort of handles 1080p h264 playback, but it might be time to upgrade it to a Android TV box with hevc and move the processing to an i3 server. Same boat here, i still have a shuttle Ion 330 that's running kodi.
