Building a Low-Power, Fully Loaded Plex Server

I built an efficient, good looking, Mini ITX Plex server that doesn’t skimp on the processing power, storage, or features like transcoding all while using only 16 watts of power. Each part is hand-picked and every setting is tweaked with efficiency in mind. Oh, and it would even look nice in your living space too! If you already have a Plex server, you can still follow this guide to be sure you are getting the most efficiency out of your hardware and saving the most power.
