Is there any way to upgrade the RAM?
I was thinking I could probably spin this thing up as a little web server or maybe a dedicated game server for a few buddies.

I’ve actually been mulling over the idea of putting together a Home Theater PC using a device like that myself. I’d love to hear more about how everything shakes out once you finally pull the trigger on the purchase.
Just as a little thought for you to chew on—maybe see if you can find a model that comes equipped with dual tuners...

Picked up an Elgato USB tuner (A850 model), got the software running, and honestly—it works great.
I just set my recordings via the Electronic Program Guide, minimize the app to the system tray, and call it a day. When the time hits, the recording kicks off right on schedule. The video quality is decent enough—standard MPEG 2...
The only catch is that our local Electronic Program Guide is about as reliable as the Amtrak schedule... totally useless... 😁
