    Church project ~ 5-25 camera's

    Blue Iris on an eBay with standard MB

    So starting to plan for home security and was thinking about an i5 based system. We will have 6-8 cameras, probably 2MP Hikvisions or similar (for better nightvision). I'd like to rackmount it... so the problem with the standard Optiplex/Dell rec is that they use proprietary motherboards that...

    Turnkey server recommendations happily accepted...

    thanks in advance... I am running Blue Iris with 12 (mostly 3mp hikvision) cameras, and not wanting to build custom or tweak things, I would appreciate suggestions for a store-bought computer that will be better than the recycled desktop I am currently squeaking by with!
