Looking for the best desktop computers for Plex media servers in ? I have spent six weeks testing ten different machines in my home lab, pushing each through real 4K transcoding workloads, multi-user streaming sessions, and week-long 24/7 uptime tests. After burning through hundreds of gigabytes of test media and watching CPU temperatures more than

After spending six months running Plex, Proxmox, Pi-hole, and a half-dozen Docker containers across ten different desktops in my home lab, I can tell you this: the best desktop computers for home servers are not the ones with the flashiest specs on paper.
