Yeah but.....6 cores and 12 threads goes for $400 ......for Dell XPS 8940 DESKTOP I5-11400, 8 GB, 512 GB NVME ( Are these clowns buying them for the Bitcoin GPU's and then Open boxing them? I think So!)

They're probably selling the GPU, especially if its an Nvidia 10xx series or better. Have you seen the prices on those now? I've got a few grand worth than I paid under a grand for about two years ago.

6 core/12 threads Processors. Wow. She oughta run 64 Cameras. 5.33 cameras per thread. Anybody running a 12 thread processor? I’m jealous. 32 cameras would be 2.66 cameras per thread. I suppose the bottleneck might become writing video to spinning drives.

I’m gonna try 25-32 see how it goes

If it gets bogged down, maybe you can put a few cams that aren't finicky on an NVR. If one system goes down you might still catch important stuff with the other system. What do I know......

So, will the HP be able to handle an SSD for the OS and 2 3.5" hdd? Does it have enough SATA ports and sata power plugs from the PSU? Basically what I'm saying is: The PC I'm looking at comes with an SSD. Will I be able to add 2 hdd's to this model? Thanks.

What pc are you loooking at? oh...duh..Yes. the HP Elitedesk 800 G4 SFF, i5-8500....
My Hp elitedesk is running 2 3.5” Hdd’s and windows resides on some Motherboard attached SSD or Nvme or whatever they call it now. All Sata power cables were positioned to accept the 2 hdd’s.
As far as the Sata data cables go, i dont remember if it had them or I added them.

the slim DVD drive is also using a SATA port i believe. So there would be at least 3 onboard SATA ports. check ebay for an eleitedesk 800 g4 SFF motherboard....then yu can see whats what.

I'm kind of striking out right now. No room for 1 SSD and 2 3.5". I thought a Dell Optiplex 7040 Mini tower would work, but it has no more room either for 2 hdds, not that I could see from the manual. I may have missed something though. I may have to just build my own, I hope not though..

What about the HP Elitedesk? Do you know anything about it. I'm trying to find out info on that also. I'm looking at some info right now. I hope I find out good info.

I just changed my rule of thinking. I'm going to go with room for 1hdd and 1ssd. That should help. Now just to find a good deal on a Dell or HP.

I'm running an Elitedesk, if you dont need many cams, you could search for the Elitedesk 800 g2 SFF, or the 800 G3, or the 800 G4, in Small Form Factor (SFF) if you have room for a Tower
they make in that size too. the g2-g3-g4 have 2 drive bays for 3.5" drives, and an SSD mounted on a motherboard slot.

Do you, or anyone else know anything about the Dell Optiplex 7040 Mini Tower? I know the board has 4 Sata ports, but I was wondering how hard it would be to get mechanical hdd in there. This has exactly what I want. i7-6700, 16GB ram, 512GB ssd. I would like to add the 1 hdd, but if it could, add 2 hdds. If only 1 is possible, I'm okay with that. I just can't seem to find anything that shows for sure.
