I just built a replacement transcode box for my old laptop running that was running a first gen i7. This guide worked flawlessly. The box goes great in my living room and I’ve tested up to 7 transcoding streams. It more than suits my needs. It worked great!
I used this thread for everything except for the SSD which I chose on my own.
