I need a $500 Surveillance Computer.

It need to have a high storage capacity around: 1TB if you could add a SSD in conjunction would be great. I would like it to be MATX or ITX form factor. So the smaller the form factor the better.

It also needs to be Amazon Only.

dude

any mini itx case

mini itx mobo and stuff

literally anything will work for what you want to do

You should only get the SSD for an operating system. The bulk should go on storage and maybe good cpu and ram

1. The brand means nothing if it can not perform. Yes, EVGA makes good PSUs, this one is not one of them.

2. What I am looking at is it's 80+ rating meaning how efficient it is. The difference over time between non 80+ and 80+ gold is more than the cost difference between the two PSUs.

Done.

 

I have the DS115j for my cameras and it works nicely and costs me $13.88 per year in power to run 24x7x365.

Them dvr cards will cost more than the cost of your computer. Get a standalone surveillance system.

 

I already have one from the previous computer. The old one died. Due to it never being cleaned.
