[2329.72 --> 2331.10] You may be right about that.
[2331.22 --> 2331.68] Got to admit.
[2332.12 --> 2332.58] You know, Scott,
[2332.58 --> 2333.12] the first thing
[2333.12 --> 2333.82] that came to mind
[2333.82 --> 2334.32] for me,
[2334.86 --> 2335.56] and this is something
[2335.56 --> 2336.70] that I've already done once,
[2336.94 --> 2338.52] is low-power,
[2339.06 --> 2339.40] cheap,
[2339.52 --> 2340.30] used laptops
[2340.30 --> 2340.88] on eBay.
[2341.58 --> 2342.02] Often,
[2342.30 --> 2343.62] they have more horsepower
[2343.62 --> 2345.08] than a Raspberry Pi.
[2345.42 --> 2346.08] Some of them
[2346.08 --> 2346.82] even have features
[2346.82 --> 2347.58] like QuickSync,
[2347.64 --> 2348.40] so they make it great
[2348.40 --> 2349.12] for Plex.
[2349.64 --> 2350.74] The only real challenge
[2350.74 --> 2351.46] is that I've run into
[2351.46 --> 2352.04] and why I haven't really
[2352.04 --> 2352.78] talked about it a lot
[2352.78 --> 2353.84] on air
[2353.84 --> 2354.56] is because
[2354.56 --> 2356.54] I'm almost always
[2356.54 --> 2357.74] hitting some kind
[2357.74 --> 2358.84] of IO limitation
[2358.84 --> 2360.80] that just drives me crazy.
[2360.92 --> 2361.60] Maybe it's USB
[2361.60 --> 2362.30] or Ethernet
[2362.30 --> 2363.40] or something like that,
[2363.76 --> 2364.50] but depending on
[2364.50 --> 2365.34] what your needs are,
[2365.72 --> 2366.80] like if you could
[2366.80 --> 2367.62] find a laptop
[2367.62 --> 2368.72] like some of these
[2368.72 --> 2369.14] ThinkPads
[2369.14 --> 2370.06] that support two disks
[2370.06 --> 2371.44] and maybe you're okay
[2371.44 --> 2372.20] with just that amount
[2372.20 --> 2372.64] of storage,
[2373.02 --> 2373.60] you could actually
[2373.60 --> 2374.16] make a laptop
[2374.16 --> 2374.98] work pretty well
[2374.98 --> 2376.10] in place of a Raspberry Pi.
[2376.38 --> 2377.70] What do you think, Alex?
[2377.74 --> 2378.24] You got any ideas?
[2378.84 --> 2379.34] Well, something like
[2379.34 --> 2380.08] an old ThinkPad
[2380.08 --> 2381.18] you can have pretty cheap.
[2381.30 --> 2381.70] Like, I've just
[2381.70 --> 2382.66] had a quick look now.
[2382.66 --> 2384.80] T450, which is
[2384.80 --> 2385.78] 5th gen Intel,
[2386.24 --> 2387.38] 100, 140,
[2387.58 --> 2389.22] depending on the spec
[2389.22 --> 2390.34] and how much RAM
[2390.34 --> 2391.72] and disk and what have you
[2391.72 --> 2392.24] that's in there.
[2392.70 --> 2393.66] But we've also been
[2393.66 --> 2394.16] talking about this
[2394.16 --> 2394.62] on the Discord
[2394.62 --> 2395.76] a fair bit recently
[2395.76 --> 2397.80] with the, like,
[2397.90 --> 2399.34] tiny mini micro stuff,
[2399.54 --> 2400.38] that kind of stuff,
[2400.48 --> 2401.74] like Serve the Home
[2401.74 --> 2402.38] have been doing
[2402.38 --> 2402.94] a whole series
[2402.94 --> 2403.54] on this stuff.
[2404.00 --> 2404.68] Now, they typically
[2404.68 --> 2405.94] buy the higher end stuff,
[2406.02 --> 2406.68] the newer stuff,
[2407.18 --> 2408.60] or they get sent it anyway.
[2409.30 --> 2410.06] We've been talking
[2410.06 --> 2411.14] about kind of the lower
[2411.14 --> 2411.92] end of that market.
[2411.92 --> 2412.66] There are some old
[2412.66 --> 2413.90] thin client boxes
[2413.90 --> 2414.54] that have been
[2414.54 --> 2415.16] knocking around
[2415.16 --> 2415.84] for a long time.
[2416.08 --> 2416.76] I think it's,
[2416.76 --> 2417.66] is it Wyze?
[2417.80 --> 2419.44] Spelt W-Y-S-E.
[2420.40 --> 2421.18] These guys,
[2421.36 --> 2423.44] they do thin clients
[2423.44 --> 2424.12] for enterprise.
[2424.34 --> 2425.50] So they've got boxes
[2425.50 --> 2426.04] knocking around
[2426.04 --> 2427.34] by the thousand
[2427.34 --> 2428.64] and you can get them
[2428.64 --> 2429.62] super cheap on eBay
[2429.62 --> 2430.68] and often they've got
[2430.68 --> 2432.12] Ethernet built in
[2432.12 --> 2432.68] and USB.
[2433.76 --> 2434.64] Depending on the model
[2434.64 --> 2435.20] you go for,
