currently looking at using older laptop motherboards to build a Linux based streamer box. be it native Linux or ASOP, I’m getting the fuck out of this bullshit.
If you’re willing to wade into FB Marketplace there’s also a lot of mini Dell/HP PC’s - probably retired business workstations - out there for cheap with 8-16GB of RAM.

Good luck on the ram champ
Plenty of cheap RAM for older laptops on the used market.

They make dandy TV boxes of mini homelab hosts
the ones I’m looking at are small boards with ram on board. 16gb should be more than enough for anything.
it’s the hardware encoding that I’m more concerned about.
