Odd Neighbor Terrorizing My Cats!!!
It looks to me like you have an outdoor, free-roaming cat. Some folks feed birds and other wildlife that cats naturally prey on and do not like free-roaming domestic animals on their property.

Cool, thanks @nayr ! ... it'd be worth it just to fix the d@mn ends that the fragile locking tab has broken off ... (hate it when that happens :livid:) .. that EZ-RJ45 http://amzn.com/dp/B00939KFOU looks like it'd do the job. -

I've always taken the easy way out and purchased cat5e with ends already on them, even for the longer runs, but I've wondered about making my own cables - what's the deal with putting an end on - do you have to strip the ends off of each individual wire before placing the end on and crimping or... -

You might consider going with a 240g Solid State Disk (ssd) - for your os & software drive - sure helps on boot times. I use Crucials; a lot of folks like Samsung EVO's. It's cheap insurance for quick boots. Also, don't forget about UPS for your PoE switch and BI PC. I like TP-Link also -... -
Separate Network for IP Cameras?
@Diggs - thanks for the input - I've been in IT 30+ years also and relatively new to the camera game as well, but I screwed around enough with the cameras and wifi to know it's not reliable enough (for me) to implement. Instead I ran cat5e to the 7 locations I have cameras - that's been some...- eyeball

would you buy a refurbished harddrive?
I developed kiosk software (airline industry) some years ago back when OS/2 was all the rage (ok, maybe it was actually rage *at* OS/2, but I digress) - it took about 5 to 10 minutes to boot up fully then (app loaded, etc.) - that was 20 years ago though. Imagine what the landscape will be 20... -

Yeah I hear you - I have the same problem these days :D ... might want to do some research & make sure the bios in your dells will handle a ssds or at least which ssds will work in them properly before moving forward ... -
would you buy a refurbished harddrive?
No difference in size - all 2.5" - for desktop you'll need an adapter such as this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BH3Z8E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 As @Razer explained - the difference in price is due in part to the memory used and subsequent affect on the life of... -
would you buy a refurbished harddrive?
I have Crucial M500's - not sure what the difference is, but mine have been good for a couple of years of every day use. Here's a decent write up on the drive you mentioned @born2ride : http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2014/08/crucial-mx100-australian-review/ The M500 is $109 at amazon... -
