Hey, TH!
I'm needing to build an inexpensive desktop for home surveillance for my grandfather. This tower will receive streamed audio/video from the Dropcam HD and broadcast it over the internet. That is the only function of the computer so I need something very minimal. I think a compact micro ATX build would be ideal for this. I really just need to know if any hardware is going to play an important role in streaming the video. Do I need to emphasize on a certain component of the hardware (such as RAM or CPU)?
Just need some insight. I'd like to keep this build sub $300.
Thanks again!
