@steakster Windows platform based servers are very well regarded by some, atx/windows motherboards used in most state of art diy servers.
I've heard good things about the Fidelizer, pretty trick way to optimize general service computer. Obviously, you still benefited from external usb rendering, which virtually all servers will benefit from. Network setting preferable to streaming likely due to certain unneeded process being disabled with that setting, those unneeded processes probably being usb related. USBe not a streamer, so pc/Fidelizer still actual server/streamer, you're just transferring more usb rendering to USBe.
