Will this pc work for BI?

Would this computer work for 6 HDW5231R-ZE plus 1 higher megapixel camera? I read the wiki and it seems to me that it would be fine but I wanted to double check that the only extra item I would need would be a WD purple hdd.

Yeah that will work.

Here are a few similar i5-6500 options that cost less but don't have SSDs (also note the one you linked charges extra for shipping).

I personally would cut in the price in half by going with a 4th gen CPU but it is your decision.

I'm currently using an i5-6600 (marginally faster) with two HDW2231 2MP cameras thus far at full 25 FPS and bitrate, and the CPU sits at 5-7%. I think you'll be more than ok.

 

[GKyle840]

I have no issues cutting the price in half. I was under the impression It was best to have a 6xxx CPU. I'm all for saving money

 

[GKyle840]

do I need 2 hard drives, one for windows and one for the recordings or is just a wd purple sufficient?
I was thinking of putting windows on an ssd but if its not needed, I will just get one without a hard drive and add a 4tb WD myself

How does this one look? I am planning to pull the trigger on it today.

bad, there is no room for a 3.5 drive. only a single 2.5. That is not a SFF its an USDT. Also uses a weaker S processor. Overpriced for a 4th gen system.

 

[GKyle840]

ok good to know, ill keep looking around for a 4th generation non S or T processor that is a SFF.

this seems to be exactly what I am looking for and priced right. any input on it?

 

[GKyle840]

found these 3 on ebay and I just have to narrow it down to one. I really like the one with the SSD and I think the 17 would be my 2nd choice. any opinions?

its overpriced for a 6 year old desktop. Consider that i5-6500 elitedesks/prodesk can often be found for 180-200. Have patience. You can add a larger and better ssd for 50 bux.

Yeah that will work.

I am off work tuesday next week and was hoping to get everything setup on a new pc and finish the installation of my 2nd camera and the IR lights.
I think I am going to go with this computer and just not worry about an ssd right now as its not really needed and I cant find anything cheaper with similar specs.

Looks good but if you can swing it put an ssd in first and get it over with.

 

[GKyle840]

I ordered it and should arrive Tuesday. I could take the 2.5" ssd out of my laptop and use it as I no longer use that laptop.
