  • If your concern is which motherboard will perform well, you can go with any. NAS applications are incredibly easy to run. Basically no resources required.

    Your biggest issue will be narrowing it down based on port requirements. Then just go with whatever is cheapest. I’d still recommend AM4, because AM5 is still expensive af. It does mean you won’t have any upgrade path, but for what you’re doing, you shouldn’t need to upgrade ever.

    If you’re planning on transcoding the media you’re serving, then you may want to think about throwing an A310 in there to handle that.

    You could conceivable even just get a used desktop second hand and harvest the parts.

    For my parents, I got a $150 N100 mini PC (tiny little thing), installed Bazzite, installed Jellyfin, and got the Pepper Jobs W10 Gyro remote. You have to configure Jellyfin to know it’s running on a TV and to accept keyboard input (the remote acts like a keyboard), but then everything works great. It’s a little over your budget, with the added remote.
