hi, everybody i am trying to build, pc based dvr system for my c-store, i have following components for pc in my mind. intel DP35DP, intel q6600, corsair 4x1gb 4-4-4-12 (4gb), xfx gts 8800 320mb XXX edition, seagate sata-3 500 x 5 (2.5 terabyte), 650 watts power suppy, vista 64 or vista 32. I already build same configuration system 6 months back for home pc, only difference is motherboard which was 975 chipset with vista ultimate 64, and i am quite happy with my home pc which is happens to be media center pc also with ati 650 wonder. intel dp35dp because intel recommand for media center pcs, i figures dvr is kinds of media center. Q6600 is really good for media encoding at really cheap price tag. seagate 4x500gb with raid 0 and 1x500gb for system. haven't decided vista 64 or vista 32 or even xp but kind lean towards 64 bits OS for avoiding 3gb limits on 32bit os. important one i am making mind between 8 to 12 cams setup, and also atleast 240 fps recording, can't decide avermedia or geovision, i personally had good experince with avermedia's video capturing products. but when i started looking online for dvr cards every where is geovision, so must be good. please all suggestion are welcome except motherboard nothing else except intel MB. because i had bad experience in past with asus, abit, msi all and quite happy with intel and their support. three years ago they changed my 915 with shipping and new processor without any cost.
