Hello All
I am looking for a new computer for my cameras, the one I have is pooping out, I would appreciate any recommendations, I have 9 cameras.
Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

it is not the number of camera it is the MP/Second.

You can get a great used computer off of EBay to run BI.

Please read the WIKI Choosing Hardware for Blue Iris | IP Cam Talk

Search that eBay place for this "DELL SFF 9020 Intel Core i7"

I just built a BI system with an HP Elitedesk i7-4770 from fleabay. I did a fresh Win10 install on an SSD, it's a rocketship. $200.

Exactly this. Get one of those i7 systems with Win10, a 250 or 500 GB SSD for WIndows and BI and 8 MB RAM, and add your own WD Purple drive for video. Total cost easily less than 500 bucks.
