Thoughts on this local Craigslist Dell XPS. Private so no warranty of course.
Dell XPS 8900 Desktop Computer - $465
http://stlouis.craigslist.org/sys/5709045555.html
I read a lot of recommendations to have the OS (and BI) on SSD for better performance.
Is there really that much of a benefit using SSD worth the cost?
It is only 32GB SSD but for a dedicated Win10 / BI build, wouldn't that be more than enough space?
Pricing out other Dells, even refurbs on ebay w/ i7-6700 chip then having to add a SSD and/or 1-2TB purple HDD for d2d recording, my cost kept getting nearer $800-$1000+
My objective is to have a competent system that would eventually handle FT recording and motion recording for 12-20 cams up to 4mp each.
I won't start out with that many cams but want the room to grow/upgrade cams and not worry about the overall system needing replacement other than more drive space of course.
