Hey geek! So, today I ordered a new Streaming Machine. As you may know, I had planned to use an iMac for the overhead camera set-up in the streaming studio, but that was not working as Ecamm was having issues with NDI.

Then I had a client that decided he wanted to stick with Mac and not move to PC, so rather than try to figure out how to make the iMac work for other things, I sold it to the client. That was about $5800 total. 

That gave me $5800 to put toward a new streaming machine that I KNOW would work for what I need, so that is what I ordered. Below are the specs, and let me tell you...this thing is going to be an absolute MONSTER and will most likely de-throne Serenity. She will still have her place in the production as she will become the streaming machine only.

What I will load on her (Serenity) will be all the BRB...Stream Ending videos, and anything else that will take load, but not HEAVY load, and she will run the actual stream. That way she will not get overloaded and neither will the new PC, which actually could handle way more than I will be throwing at it LOL.

Here is what she will look like. Now, she will not have these boring colors you see in this pic, because I ordered FULL RGB lighting throughout. I will be able to control what color she is. It's funny what things excite us about these things LOL

UPDATE 12/23/20: Here are the specs for the NEW Machine I ordered. Same case, so it should look exactly the same.
