Interesting box but way overkill for the average punter.

Yeah, for $1,000 with no memory or hard drives, plus it idles at 50 watts.
50w? Jesus, that's a lot.
Looks awesome, just missing space for a GPU (often necessary for real-time transcoding).
Not true.
I have one. And I have a half height gpu in it. Intel A310.
Is that GPU useful for video transcoding?
Absolutely.
I run unraid and their kernel version isn’t up to date to handle the cpu/gpu newness yet. So streaming a single 4k pinned my cpu.
This 100 dollar vid card handles at least 4 discrete 4k streams without breaking a sweat and my cpu has little to no activity..
Awesome.
