Ready to make the jump from my Lorex system to BI. Going to buy a refurb computer for dedicated BI use. Just curious out of the computers below, which would be recommended? I'll most likely have it on a shelf on my rack system, or on the desk below.

1) 32 GB Memory - 1 TB SSD & 3 TB HD - i5 8500 - $329

2) 16 GB Memory - 512 SSD - i5 6500 - $179

3) 16 GB Memory - 512 SSD - i5 6500 - $179

4) 16 GB Memory - 512 SSD - i5 6500 - $199

5) 32 GB Memory - 1 TB SSD - i5 6500 - $209

6) 32 GB Memory - 1 TB - i7 6700 - $279


I would even consider spending slightly more on one of the Mini Dell Optiplex or the HP Mini Desktops just to save a little space in the area where I am installing the equipment
 
The CPU generations on your list is a bit old. I would recommend something newer. There are many, many threads on this topic.

My advice:
#1: Make sure there is a slot for a low-power Nvidia card so you can run CodeProject.AI efficiently.
#2: Best to have room for 2 3.5" hard drives.
 
Every single link is overpriced and old...ebay is your friend...You dont say what your load is going to be....

10 1mp cameras at 5fps or 10 8mp cameras at 20fps.....big difference
code project AI ads to that as welll...
dont even consider a system below 8th gen...they wont support w11...that 8th gen system you posted for 379 can be had for 100-120 on ebay...
 
Good to know. If you can post a link or two for good pc on eBay. I’m more of a Mac guy. The intel generational stuff I’m out of the loop on
