I'm working on 3D printing the Kubic case, but would like some guidance on hardware to buy for it.

I currently have an old laptop running some Docker containers, including the .arr stack and Plex, plus Immich for photo backups, and a few other odds and ends. Don't want to break the bank, but I'm looking for something to at least handle transcoding video for Plex.

Needs:

ITX Motherboard
Discreet GPU (Max 210mm long, 2 slots thick (max 41mm))
SFX Power Supply
140mm chassis fan (Max 30mm thick)

Thanks in advance!

Integrated GPU is great. It might also depend on how many concurrent clients you want to serve. And, you then dive into extra variability according to codecs in your library. I have no experience with Plex, but this info might be helpful to you anyway, check https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-selection/#graphics-cards-gpus
