Hi there,

We are building 2 new stations to operate All NDI environment, no need to go 4K


Regular use will be :
> 3 NDI Inputs from Bird Dog P200 ptz
> 2 NDI|Hx Inputs from Spark Connect devices
> 2 NDI Outputs
> 1 recording channel
> 1 Streaming up to 1080p60


Equipment will be travelling a lot, by train or car, with "care".
We need to rack it in the Gator GRR-8L roling flycase

Thus we would like to use a 3U Rackmount case, any advice more thena welcome!


Mobo - ASUS TUF Z390M-Pro Gaming : Micro ATX Socket 1151 Intel Z390 Express - 4x DDR4 - SATA 6Gb/s + M.2 - USB 3.1 - 2x PCI-Express 3.0 16x - Wi-Fi AC
GPU - ASUS GeForce GTX 1660 Ti DUAL-GTX1660TI-O6G
CPU - Intel Core i7-8700K (3.7 GHz)
Memory - Ballistix Sport AT 32 Go (4 x 8 Go) DDR4 2666 MHz CL16
Power - Seasonic FOCUS Plus 550 Gold
Storage - Kingston KC2000 M.2 PCIe NVMe 2 To
Cooler Master GeminII M4 + Noctua NF-A6x25


+ Optional = would this system handle an additional 1 input capture card?


How does it sound to you guys?
This will be our 2 first custom builds, unfortunately budget is a concern...

Many thanks for your help/comments
Not read that much in the forums on the i7-8700K, nor on the GTX1660Ti..?

You need to watch the height of the GPU. Often you need a 4RU case for them to fit.

4U all the way. I made that mistake.
Also have to remember power connectors on most GPU
are on top of cards which adds more height.

Thanks Tom & desmar for sharing experiences

Didn't have this connectors possible issue in mind!

Thanks for the link

I think we will go for the 4U, final call later this week
