I am looking at building a mini-itx board for my track car for a custom gauge cluster and datalogging. Now I am curious about also using it for recording laps with it rather than a big mounted camera. And I mean the possibility of using 3-4 cameras I can put about anywhere.
My first issue is how much computer power I need to do that, but even before that I need software to judge what is needed.

So.. any recommendations to record multiple simultaneous cams? I was thinking booting XP off a USB stick and recording to an SSD. Not sure on recording raw or encoding yet.

Wow, your application sounds very specialized. One popular open source security cam server software is ZoneMinder. You may have to play with it to see if it fits your needs!
