Well it doesn’t say anything about it’s GPU, and of course it’s running windows!

I just got the SFF version from Amazon a few days ago. I guess it was a return. They labeled it "Renewed." I'm pretty sure mine doesn't have wifi. $250.

Great!
Be sure to:

• Put BI and BI's "db" folder on the SSD, video clips to a surveillance-rated, spinning HDD such as a WD Purple
• Optimize its performance as here ==>> Optimizing Blue Iris' CPU Usage
• and set up sub streams as here ==>> Sub stream guide

@TonyR thanks. I posted earlier about the setup steps I had followed that included those 2 guides, and a couple of additional guides on storage setup. I will follow that same setup to get started.

Actually I'm wondering if the SFF version in no longer a good option for BI since the AI wants a big graphics card.

A big graphics card is not needed.

Many run the CPU version just fine.

Or a small GPU like the GT1030 is enough for most people.
