who gives a &^%* how many usb ports you got there

tell us what's the motherboard.

 

or better give a link for the seller.

 

anyway from looking at HP site I don't see any reason why it won't work.

 

and if your seller offers XP I would take it instead of the vista.

thanks, I tried posting the link to the specs, I'm new here, posting links is not allowed yet...

 

the motherboard isn't listed, probably because it's HP, proprietary to them?

AFAIK they use MSI or other OEM mobos.

Thing is that the mobo is where you would have issues if any, so the other info isn't important as this PC is quite strong.

You just need to confirm that the mobo isn't using VIA or ATI chipset.

give them a call to make sure.

but know it's not that solid science I'm afraid, we got GV running on VIA chipsets and even on my AMD machine for few months without any issues. I think it's more to cover their asses or to market Intel than a real limition

 

If the mobo is good, the rest of the specs seems pretty good to me and I believe you'll enjoy the system with these specs.

 

One more important thing to know is that if you get the PCI Express version of the GV card, you'll want to make sure that the PCI Express Slot on the mobo has enough clearance from the other parts as the GV express cards are pretty long and I've seen them not fitting in mobo because the RAM slots are too close to the pci express slot. To know that you will need to see a pic of the mobo, for that you'll need HP to tell you what's the mobo they using on this machine and google it to find the image or post here the link.

thanks for the reply.... I can see by this pic how the card could hit the ram, although the top slot looks like it could have more space....

can you post the link to the image?

remove the http:// or .com

add the com after tigerdirect....

 

thanks!

That looks good to me. You have plenty clearance for both PCI Express.

I'm surprised tiger don't have the mobo specs on their site.

enjoy.

 

btw how many cams you putting on this?

[FikseGTS 0]

thanks.. 14 cams... I'll add a 1.5TB drive to store the recordings....

 

I found more details on another site:

 

Chipset Manufacturer Intel

Chipset Model G45 Express

Graphics Controller Manufacturer Intel

Graphics Controller Model Graphics Media Accelerator X4500HD

 

now on to decide on the cams, looking at these 4-9mm varifocal ir cams to keep each cam position flexible, any recommendations?

Youre better off building the DVR than using a badged one. For one thing you can build a much cooler PC. The cheaper HPs and Dells are normally so jammed up inside that they can get very hot, and are difficult to upgrade or add cards into.

 

But that HP has a Intel® G45 Express so it should work fine. The onboard video is all you need unless you want DVI output.

click on Specifications

 

BTW you will need a PCI Express (x1) DVR card for that computer. They draw power from the Power supply as well so you might need to upgrade the power supply to one with a PCI-E power lead.

 

Also, a good DVR is never just plug and play, it requires alot of tweaking and setup of the OS and software.

thanks for the info, are there any posts on the tweaks to the OS and software?

I am putting together the same system, with a geovision 1240 8 port card. I am not having any luck at all getting the drivers installed!!!

 

UPDATE FIRMWARE FAILS STAGE 1

 

I have built many systems, and not had this problem!

 

Any ideas???

 

This HP system should work!
