[Swlug] Dual system case or......

[dave.maydew at gmail.com]

Hi all!
I'm going to be on the market soon for new/used gear for my Plex
Server, and was wondering if any other members could throw some input?
I was originally looking at downsizing the case it is currently in
which is a MozartTx beast, and it currently houses 2 servers in the
case, the main Plex server is am ageing i7 3770 with 16Gb RAM and a
Quadro k2200 GPU, and the second (currently not used server) i3 3240T,
8Gb RAM and 1Tb Drive.
My original idea was to get a new case which can house a 5 bay Icy Box,
and havw spacw to add more drives as I fill the current 5 up.

The other idea is to just upgrade what I currently have with a later i7
say the 7700 or 8800 with 16 or 32Gb DDR4 RAM, especially as eBay is
getting an influx of older parts as users rush to attempt to upgrade
their perfectly good CPU etc for Windows 11.
So what are others thoughts on which direction to take.

Cheers in advance.....
