It&rsquo;s an old Dell T310 (X3430 @ 2.4 GHz, 16 GB RAM, 25 TB usable disk with n+1 parity, RAID1 SSD boot drives) which I&rsquo;ve shoved HDDs into. It&rsquo;s also my Linux environment when Mac just doesn&rsquo;t quite cut it, and I don&rsquo;t feel like starting a VM on the Air. Anyway, having Plex, eventually other people somehow find out that you have a fairly hefty amount (17 TB and climbing) of media, and Plex can share its libraries, so why not?</p>
