@looney2ns, will you please elaborate on why the micro/mini's aren't suitable for running Blue Iris? If I need to dedicate a machine solely to Blue Iris, I'd prefer to tuck it away where it won't be seen and the 1L form factor seems perfect for that.

Typically, those smaller boxes have less powerful CPUs, and issues with installing a 3.5" HDD for video storage and an SSD for the OS.

Remember, many micro boxes also have external power supplies, so take that into consideration in terms of total space needed.

Ah, I didn't realise they wouldn't fit a 3.5" drive. That explains it.

Anyone know the smallest SFF that will fit a 3.5" drive?
