So far the deals have been SUCKING. At least in terms of pc stuff. But also generally in other areas as well. Thought I did get 2x128gb high-speed SD cards for $5 a piece from Best Buy.

Good find on the SD cards. Agree about the rest of PC stuff. I was hoping EVGA would discount more of their B-stock 30 series stuff since the 3070Tis they have are just above my insta buy price.

WD had their Reds on a decent discount but idk if I want to deal with a Plex server yet. So far running a long HDMI cable from my PC to TV is working out well enough and I still have a few TB free internally.

I’d love a NAS for storage but not something I should spend on now. But I actually just have my Plex server connected via IP through the Plex app on my smart tv/smart device. Not sure if that’s an option for you but all I do is download media, place in appropriate folder, sync the server, login to server on device I’m viewing, start watching. 😎

It probably would work fine but would just be redundant for now. 95% of my downloaded media I watch on the TV that is close to my PC so being plugged in and controlled with a steam controller works out fine.

The other 5% I end up watching on the bedroom TV I just run through Handbrake and stick on a USB since Roku is weird about certain codecs.
