Hi folks, I’m considering setting up an offsite backup server and am seeking recommendations for a smallish form factor PC. Mainly, are there some suitable popular second hand PCs which meet the following requirements:

  • fits 4x 3.5" HDD
  • Smaller than a regular tower (e.g. mATX or ITX)
  • Equipped with a 6th of 7th gen Intel CPU at least (for power efficiency and transcoding, in case I want it to actually to some transcoding) with video output.
  • Ideally with upgradeable RAM

Do you know of something which meets those specs and is rather common on the second hand market?

Thanks!

Edit: I’m looking for a prebuilt system, such as a dell optiplex or similar.

Thanks! I love that case, that’s what I use for my main server. In this case I was interested in a prebuilt, which may be easier to find and with all main components included and thus possibly cheaper. I updated my main point as I understand it may not have been obvious.
