Hi all, Have been trying out vMix free version and love it. And now I would like to make a portable setup that is able to record 4 hd cameras and the final mixed output, while at the same time streaming live over the net. I have an OK budget so am thinking of this 3 screen portable PC.  Inside I'd have: Intel i7 3770 CPU Geforce GTX 680 DeckLink Quad 3 HDMI capture cards 3 SSDs [one for OS and two in RAID for capture] 8GB Ram Anyone tried something like this? I am not sure if the CPU is going to die when encoding a stream for the web while juggling all the video coming in... Should work out at about $8000 or so all up...

The tech specs look good, this cpu should be able to record 4 streams simultaneously, if the discs are fast enough. But why three screens? vMix won't use more than two screens, one for the interface, one for fullscreen output.

One screen for updating the website/facebook and possibly some external audio level control..
One for mixer
one for output
vMix version 10,11 or 12 may let you undock screens... who knows...
hard drives would be SSDs so no probs there.

Everything has arrived and all is working well after a day or so of trouble-shooting. Will post some pics. Can stream Full-HD easily [30% CPU].

Sounds good!
I'm curios to see some pictures (or even a little video?) of your system in action!
Could you please make a short list of all components you put together and the approximate cost?

Will get a video up. Full specs to follow. Hardest part was getting the right cards into the right pci slots. Been trying to overload it, but have failed so far.
