I’ve been running my plex media server off my 2010 Mac mini server intel core 2 duo and have had no issues for the last 4 years. It’s on current version of Mac OS sierra and current version of PMS 1.3.0 and my setup consists of 12tb of WD mybook externals. Only issue I’m running into is running out of ports and storage space.

I'm gonna be honest upfront, I'm looking to save myself a couple hours of Google boredom.
I recently got a Roku stick for my TV, I feed it via a Plex server on my laptop. The actual media is stored on a NAS that is always on, I'm getting tired of having my laptop open while I listen to music or watch a movie.
So, what is the cheapest single board computer (SBC) that will run my plex and just hum along with little maintenance from me? Hopefully the system will be nothing but an SBC and a power supply. Requirements?
1) Cheap
2) Quiet
3) Wireless
I'm assuming it will run Linux, which I'm very comfortable with. But I'm not ruling out other OS's.
Thanks!
