We're about to give it a try. We found the cRIO and our driver station computer to be lacking. It seems that the network camera acquisition is terribly inefficient. Using a USB webcam uses much less CPU. Anyway, we're building to use this for a few years.

Intel Core i7-3770S Ivy Bridge 3.1GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 65W Quad Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000
4GB DDR3 1600MHz G.SKILL Rimjaws Series
64GB Crucial M4 SSD
COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus 120mm Heatsink (for 120mm fam compatibility)
Intel BOXDH77DF LGA 1155 Intel H77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard
M2-ATX Power Supplu from Mini-box.com

I think we're going to attempt a custom made enclosure unless someone has a lightweight mini-ITX case they would recommend.

This will also be our primary programming computer where we'll remote in to program the cRIO.

A bit overkill for everything, but it should last for a few years.
