Rgr. If this falls through I'll focus back on the i5 6500 or i7 6700 depending on the deal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is the h.265 specific to sky lake? I think that's what I'm gathering from this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sweet. Hoping it works out. I have an offer in. Figured it would serve my needs. Will there be a lot of difference with the new compression? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Manufacture: DELL Model: OPTIPLEX 9020 Processor: INTEL QUAD CORE i7-4790 3.60GHz MAX 4.00GHz 8MB SC 5GT/s DMI2 Memory: 4GB RAM Hard Drive: 500GB HDD Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Found an i7 4790 with 500gb hdd, need to bump the ram from 4 to 8 for 250. What say you? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

thanks for the clarification!

at any rate: From what i gather i5-6500 should be good for 10-15 2mp cams depending on settings?

for example: HP ProDesk 600 G2 SFF (Intel Core i5-6500, 3.2GHz 4GB 500GB Win 7 Pro) | eBay

good to go, thanks for that..

leaning more toward the elitedesk..what can I say...im an HP fanboy with all the ProLiant gear we have at work.

that's what's confusing. i would have thought that the increase in MP would be proportional to the quality you gain from it but apparently that's not the case. From what i gather: i5-6500 should be good for 10-15 2mp cams depending on settings?

I'm seeing some for less than 300 easy on ebay. So that's promising. from what i see right now they are in the 450-550 range

I appreciate the additional hmjgriffon. I see the review on here about the starlight and that thing is legit. i have certainly learned you get what you pay for in cams although im limited to my terrible experience with DVRs and their crappy ones

Thanks fenderman. Is there any real advantage of the between a gen4 or gen6 chip? you recommend the i5-6500 which has a passmark of about 7100. If i find something comparable with that mark am i still OK? Lets say i opt to go with 3mp cams at a minimum am I still good for scale-ability...

After creeping the site for some info i decide it was a good time to join. Wealth of knowledge here and I hope ill be able to provide some in return.
