Need a dedicated server mainly for media storage
Currently, i have a server on OVH with following specifications
CPU: Intel Xeon E-2288G | 8 Cores / 16 Threads | Up to 5.0 GHz Turbo
RAM: 64 GB ECC DDR4
Storage: 2x 960 GB NVMe SSDs + 2x 6 TB SATA HDDs
Network: True Unlimited Bandwidth @ 1 Gbps port
Location: Eastern Canada
Base Cost: $79.80 / mo
IP Cost / Extras: + $2.39 / mo
Total: $82.19 / mo (with true unlimited bandwidth included).
I want a similar server with a cpu with integrated graphics to run intelQsync and some more storage in same bracket

Checking all those marks or really beating OVH in general will probably be tough. Is there anything you care about specifically? You don't really need that kind of CPU, 64gb RAM or unmetered (i truly hope your use of true doesn't imply dedicated here...) traffic to store stuff after all. All in all it sounds more like you are transcoding/distributing media than just storing it.
