Yeah, it's on me for reusing an industrial Mini-ITX motherboard I had leftover. The i5-4570 / 16 GB DDR3 is no slouch and is perfectly adequate for everything else this machine needs to do (download torrents, serve media, handle some backups, run a few minecraft servers), but I'm a generation or two too early for the right transcoding support, and I can't even patch over it with the PCIe slot as I'm using
that to give this machine dual NVMe drives.
Given the state of RAM pricing, it's probably cheaper at this point to just buy an Apple TV or the like to put on the TV end. Eventually the NAS can go to an AM4 build when I upgrade my workstation to AM5 and the CPU and RAM from that are freed up.
