As a Plex server. Loved the hard drive space and this amount of USB ports is awesome for adding additional drives. One thing I didn't note is that it has VGA and 2 Display Ports and no HDMI ports. I got an adaptor at Walmart for thirteen dollars. Well worth the money. I'm not using for web browsing or gaming so I don't know how that will fair. Wanting minimal extra software to keep this running smooth. I may keep backup files on this machine as well, however.  Could be good as a guest computer also if visitors come over and need to use a computer and you don't want them to use your main one.
