my computer has one ethernet port unfortunately.
the switch I ended up going with was this one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CMXROIO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
it works well so far but I only have 2 cams on it. it says the total power budget is 64 watts...
I tested my 2 IR lights tonight and these were the only pictures I was able to capture due to the kids.
picture 1 is this light: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075F7NV56/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
picture 2 is this light...
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...
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?

this seems to be exactly what I am looking for and priced right. any input on it?
here is a photo of the new light. when the weather improves and I get my 2nd light I will do a comparison of them in the back yard in complete darkness. this is all I have for now. it has less of a hotspot than the light in the camera but thats about all I can tell with the snow right now.
How does this one look? I am planning to pull the trigger on it today.

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
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.
