New emby server

[tomx 2]

I have been using my old pc for emby server with cenot7, but its too power consuming. 

What minipc do you recommend me?

I have been looking this setup:

I need for 5 clients + hw transcoding.

Personally would avoid full-AMD setup and go with AMD CPU and discreet Nvidia GPU or optimally 12th/13th gen Intel with no discreet GPU which would be a perfect solution for what you're after.

Definitely Intel 12th/13th Gen. Transcoding ability is incredible.

Thx will go with something like that.

Any form of i9 is not going to be power efficient.  The integrated GPU used for transcoding is the same across any cpu from an i5 12600 onwards - (uhd770) so unless there is a need for more cpu cores, I would personally stick with a newer generation i5 (13th gen) or above.
