Dell T30 server w/Xeon processor - $300

thinking of getting this...running BI with 10-15 cams 1080p and 20-30fps...how will this do?....should I get something more powerful for future proofing?
got a gift card so cost will be about $200..thoughts?

I've been running ten or eleven cams on a nearly identical Lenovo TS140 ThinkServer with the same CPU. It runs at about 30% CPU and uses less than two gigs of memory. 8GB is plenty, 16GB is overkill, 12GB is probably the sweet spot, but not practical. This deal is better than previous deals in that it includes a 1 TB hard disk drive. Previous deals did not, at the same or slightly higher prices.
