i put together a system a month ago, 2 aver nv7000h cards stacked together for 16channels, 4 hitachi desktar 1tb hard drives and a 5th 320gig drive for the main operating system and software, asus p5k3 deluxe/wifi motherboard with the new intel p35 chipset and a intel quad core q6600 processor, 2gb of ddr3 ram.
so far, i'm very impressed with avermedia, and no complaints at all. Rock solid and stable, easy to use, nice features (viewing the cameras on my cellphone is quite handy at times when on the road). Going to start testing out some IP cameras for this soon.
never seen a geovision system so i can't compare to them, but i've had a no-name brand system out of taiwan (shinet was the company), and it was ok for what it was, but no support and was old and dated and started crashing often.
one thing to watch for with the nv7000h boards, they are MONSTERS, so make sure you plan your motherboard and case layout properly if you want to fit these into the case and not block other stuff. Especially when adding 2 of these.
