I don't mean to sound rude if it does. But I think there should be a revisit video on this topic, a case study. Maybe setting up a camera network in Linus's house and using it for a week? Have at least one outdoor camera too.
Considering there is quite a bit of interest in this thread, I think it would be worthwhile.
 
Thanks!

Wipe it off dry with a paper towel, Kleenex (tissue), coffee filter, or some disposable material like that. rubbing alcohol is merely to make the process easier and quicker as well as to help get really fine residue out (as well as leaving none behind since it will all evaporate). Its more of a recommendation, and its certainly not necessary. Just wipe off the CPU until the visible stuff is gone, then grab another paper towel and continue wiping (you will notice the paper towel, or whatever you're using, is still turning grey as you wipe). repeat this process until there is no more grey residue left on the paper tower when you wipe the CPU.

Yep, instructions are here for that assuming you already know how to set up a virtual machine https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneye/wiki/Installation
Motioneye only supports linux. You would need to install Linux on the machine or run it inside a virtual machine. Since you seem to be using it as just a media server maybe linux would actually be ideal? If you need support setting up Linux just give me a shout.

Windows 10 doesn't have the Startmenu Startup folder anymore but the functionality is still there.
Hit Win+R and run shell:Appdata
Navigate to AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
On default setup, Windows 10 runs any program that's in this folder but you don't want to reinstall there so create a shortcut to the executable and place that in the startup folder. 
For other Windowses, just find the Startup folder in Start Menu and put the shortcut in there.
 
If that doesn't work, it's possible to launch a program on login using Task Scheduler or msconfig (not Win10) or the Startup tab in Task Manager (Win10 only) I'd also imagine this program would have a launch on login selection in it's own settings.

I'm stoked to see some other people try it out and I think I'll probably set it up at my house too
 
(ps. let me know how it goes)

I think I got everything... if you have any questions, ask below

The first step is to decide what you want your setup to be, as you'll need to know how many parts to order. There is a few different options, and once you've chosen, click on the parts list for your respective setup.
 
1. Single Camera w/o hub server
Parts list: Pros Least expensive setup Cons Lower attainable FPS/res 2. Single Camera w/ hub server - *RECOMMENDED*
Parts list: Pros allows for future expandability higher attainable FPS/res more reliable vs. no hub Cons costs more (you have to buy a second Raspi) 3. Multiple Cameras w/ hub server - *RECOMMENDED*
Parts list: Pros higher attainable FPS/res more reliable vs. no hub Cons cost (lol, 2 cameras + hub is still cheaper than a Nest cam) 4. Multiple cameras w/ a desktop computer as a hub
This is a setup that you can build, but I haven't investigated it yet, so stay tuned on this.  
My recommendation is to have a hub server regardless of the number of cameras to ensure the best possible image quality, but if your budget doesn't permit, a single camera w/o a hub server can still work decently.
