OK, I'll chime in. I run a reasonably powerful Win 10 box as my main computer, use it for ripping DVDs and CDs etc, MusicIP analysis and tagging. Then I use FreeFileSync to copy it to a Vortexbox (VB) for streaming by LMS and Plex. Two advantages in this method - backup of all media and low power consumption of the streaming server, plus I have another VB at my Sydney house, so I take the library there on a backup disk and update it for 'off site' backup. So, my advice is to investigate building a small VB for streaming and keep your big box for day to day stuff.
Happy to talk further by PM. One of my VBs is in a Silverstone SG05 lite case, uses an Asrock B150M mini itx mobo and a pentium CPU 4GB RAM, 8TB disk. System on a cheap 120GB SSD.
