[QUOTE="vivek.krishnan, post: 2511333, member: 33237"] In that case, would suggest you to do the following pickup a used NUC or Tiny PC - with U series, not the desktop variants. You should be able to snag a used 6th gen i5 for around 9K - dont go below this for HEVC support. This will have a slot for a NVME SSD (put a 256GB for like 1K for the OS) and the existing 2TB laptop ssd for the media. This machine will run 24x7 and can do your media streaming/downloading etc everything. USB3.0 for external drives for future. spend the remaining amount on the desktop as you see fit. [/QUOTE]
