OK so based on everyone's help, I picked up a refurb Dell Precision i7-6700 with 16Gb ram, and active 10 Pro seat, and a 256SSD for about $400. I also picked up a 10 port POE switch BVlink with giga-uplink for about $65. IL get a WD purple drive next and hopefully everything will play nice with my 8 Lorex 3MP cams.
So, assuming its best to keep the camera system on its own isolated network (since there are hanging cat-5 cables outside now) how do i get it to connect online for remote access without also connecting it to my existing network?
Im not an IT guy so this setup is new for me... and I dont see much about this aspect written in the BI wiki.
