    Dedicated Dell Optiplex

    Hello, I plan on purchasing a Dell Optiplex i7 3rd gen or higher PC from ebay. I see that most of them come with a small HD like 250GB or 500 GB with Windows 8 or higher. Of course I want larger HD (at least 2TB). So do I purchase an extra HD and make it a slave? thanks Frank

    security camera with minimal false alarm

    Thanks for the response guys. BTW, this will be an outdoor camera. What about cameras with thermal sensors? I have read, from manufacturer, that they will only trigger on heat, thus minimizing false alarms?
