As others have said. 150 watts at idle is going to add around $30/month to your power bill. A proper NAS is around 30 watts at idle with the drives still spinning. A media server is an investment in convenience. Definitely spend a bit more on the hardware to save over the lifetime of the server.
I use a Dell R210 mk2 with quieter fans. It idles around 15 watts and can handle transcoding tasks when needed.
I also wouldn't recommend Plex. Go with Jellyfin instead. Much less headache.
