Hello,
A total of 3 computers (1 stream, 2 game) exclusively for streaming sim racing (i.e. iracing, Asseto Corsa, Project Cars, Forza) to twitch. I would appreciate any feedback on the questions below. Two brothers will have a dedicated rackmount machine exclusively sim racing (no other games) feeding into a dedicated rackmount machine for streaming to twitch. Thank you for your attention. ))
Questions:
1. Any comments/suggestions to save money without loss of performance (from either builds).
2. 3u Rackmount enclosure layout suggestions would be appreciated or perhaps a source to learn more about it? I already viewed the Linus vids on the 2015 personal build using rackmounts. I wish there was greater detail regarding the layout.
3. Streaming setup for multiple machines feeding into twitch would also be greatly appreciated.
