I’ve read the recommended hardware for pc’s, I just want to double check I’m covered if I purchase this pc. Currently running 8 cameras and my last hard drive burnt up cpu running real high even after doing some of the cpu saving functions. This is a description of the new pc

Hi jland,

Did it say 6th gen i7? Hard to see with the 20% off mark.

Do you know what particular CPU is included?

Also note, GPU is not required.

Hi Jland,

Is this for a dedicated Blue Iris system?
Did I read that price correctly?

$800

For a Dell XPS 8910
w/1 GB HDD!! - what?!?!? the screen shot had 1 GB... not 1 TB... odd.
16GB RAM
win 10
i7-6700 at 3.4Ghz

That's the problem with us new to IP cameras and setups we think and not know.

Don't buy that, check the wiki and cliff notes. Shop around at the outlets to find a used PC, see some of the many prior posts where users (including myself) ended up spending more than we would have if we had just followed the guidance in the cliff notes.

At that price you are nearly moving into a price range where you could easily buy brand new parts to build something at that price (which would also not be my recommendation)
