This guide aims to build a parallel to the Apple iMac 27-Inch "Core i5" 3.7 (5K, 2019). This is a vanilla install guide and I recommend against using any pre-packaged images or distributions.

Compact NVR build using Lenovo ThinkCentre M920x Tiny with Intel i5-8600T, 32GB RAM, 4TB NVMe storage, and Quadro K1200 GPU for CUDA tasks like facial recognition. Includes 2.5GbE networking for fast NAS backups and supports future expansion with onboard SATA and eSATA options
