Thanks! I started to build my own NVR using the wiki and CN. Tons of useful information there. I was just about to buy the parts needed when I saw the Lorex LNR6108 on sale for $699 at Costco. I could not pass that deal up so I bought 2! However, I was less than excited when the second system had some problems. I already asked a question about it on the NVR forum.
