That thing is going to be chugging power. Also note that it uses SAS drives, so you can’t just use consumer SATA drives in it. ALSO 410s are from the 2009-2011 era. Do you really want to depend on a 10+ year old PSU? What’s the cost going to be for you to find replacement parts?

I’m using this exact tower still. I inherited it for free from work. I swapped the CPUs to some lower TDP L5640s and put an H710 in to allow a 6x4TB array and a Quadro P400 for transcode.

It has no problems pushing 4K HDR streams in my house, or several 1080p streams remotely to family and friends.

You can definitely find lower power solutions, but probably not at this price point with the 6 Bay storage included. All things considered it really doesn’t draw that much power, but I might be biased with my inexpensive solar electricity.

I agree with one of the users. It’s going to use. A bunch of power and its going to be a space heater. You should just get a regular computer. This is a very odd ball thing. But yes it will be able to run plex. But also you can run plex on a ras pi but have it okay via direct play. I don’t use pi. I have. Amd ryzen 7 3700x with 64 gb of ram for my plex served.

I use something like this. But I run ESXi on it and Plex is just a VM among several other VMs.

It’ll do the job no problem. The power consumption is more than your average little desktop, but it’s not horrific. 100-150watts depending on what’s going on from what I’ve read.

I figure mine’s actually four PCs in one, so I’m not really worried about it.

If there’s a will there’s a way, I’ve gotten a Plex server to work on a raspberry pi and it can transcode two devices at one time, I’m sure it can work on that

NO that generation of CPU is NOT WORTH IT! Generates too much heat, uses too much power. I bought a Dell R720 for $60 about a month ago and it would blow this system out of the water.
