What's a good piece of hardware to run a jellyfin server? (self.technology)

I'm wanting to set up my external Seagate drive with all my media on it to run a jellyfin server but I'm not sure which device to use. I'm thinking a raspberry pi but I'm not sure which one. From what I can tell from running the server on my laptop it is fairly CPU intensive for lower end systems

Edit: so general consensus seems to be, don't use a pi, it's not powerful enough

If you can get a 7th gen Intel or even a halfway decent basic El cheapo Nvidia card then that will help with transcoding but outside of that anything that runs the interface should be fine.

This. Not to mention, there are a million Nvidia P4s on Ebay for cheap after everyone dismantled their old mining rigs. Also, they're low-pro cards not any longer than an ITX motherboard.
