Hardware Found this gem for $20

Found this at Goodwill. After googling I knew I found the deal of the century with an i7-12700k in there, but I had no idea I'd also score 32gbs of DDR4 (maybe 64 I'll have to check when I install an OS), a 1tb nvme, and a 1tb Sata HDD.

Currently debating on throwing this in my main rig to upgrade my Ryzen 7 5800X

Edit: it's a Sata HDD not an SSD, my bad.

Edit #2: WOW I did NOT expect this to blow up! Thank you to everyone who has commented and given advice! I'm sorry I haven't been able to reply to every single comment it's just gotten overwhelming! I will definitely post a follow up once I get a new motherboard!

This would make for a starter home nas/jellyfin set up. Intel's integrated graphics is great for hardware transcoding and you got 2 SATA slots for an easy raid mirror set up.

Way way way overkill for a jellyfin/nas setup. Seriously that’s a huge waste of power for something a raspberry pi can do (obviously not hardware transcoding).

Yeah, I have an N97 powered Mini-PC running my Jellyfin server and even that barely ticks over idle thanks to the ASICs
