Computer for Blue Iris

[Toglide]

Hello Everone,

After a whole lot of reading of the WIKI page, I'm thinking this might be a good computer for an 8 camera system running Blue Iris. Can someone please confirm?

I’ve got one of, my son uses it as his desktop and mine has an NVMe slot but only space for one full size hard disk. I think it might be possible to mount a second but there also is no extra power connector so I had to modify the existing cable to add a 2nd connector.

Several on Ebay for $250.

Thank you for all the help. So all the Dell 7040 sff I7- 6700 are about the same then? Most of the Ebay posting are a little vague on what installed in their computers.
I just like this one because I contacted the seller for info about what was installed. The M.2 SSD and room for an 3.5 8 terabyte drive sounds like a good thing. I guess it's time to contact a few more sellers.
