Looking for a cost-free screen capture tool? Here are some options you might find useful. Consider alternatives to CamStudio if you need better performance or more features. Make sure it supports CPU-only recording and works well for gameplay.

Yes, OBS records and compresses output to disk as well.

I see you are awaiting a liable thunderbolt eGPU. Well I will be ordering the following in a few days http://www.amazon.com/Akitio-Thunder2-PC...rds=akitio that combined with a GPU and a psu will work great.

Can this program capture your entire desktop? You're planning to make graphics time-lapses and want a tool that also records your screen.

It can capture your computer screen here. Jump to the 1:52 mark if you need the settings.

I've seen this before and I almost agree that it will work well. Unfortunately I can't get it here in China without crazy shipping fees and no RMA, so I didn't go for it yet. Also, that box is great and all, the price is right, but you will need a riser cable which supplies additional power to the slot, because that PCIe slot only supplies 25W. Not the required 75W... Then, you need a PSU, which is a given... Overall it results in a functional setup, hopefully though... If you get this, please keep me posted, I am really interested and will be getting a similar setup as soon as I can get something that is available and makes sense. I would even be interested in buying an adapter for the Alienware Amplifier if that existed...Sadly it doesn't, and that is the kind of product that will never exist with Thunderbolt thanks to Intel...

Thanks for the note about the PCIE riser. I hadn't realized I'd need one. I intend to get the adapter along with a GTX 760 and a Corsair PSU. I'm planning to document the assembly process and run benchmarks. Since I have Thunderbolt Gen 1 instead of Gen 2, my performance will be a bit lower. I'll include you in the post. Any recommendations for a PCIE riser would be appreciated?

There are no specific brands with these things... Making a riser cable with a molex is really trivial, and anything that looks electrically acceptable will work. Here is an example. Generally, I would be cautious with this cable. Just buy one (they are quite cheap as you can see) but check whether the molex connection/the cable and especially, where it is connected to the slot, get warm. We are talking 75W at 12V, which is 6.25A... Quite some current, so these may be real issues you have to take into account. But again, once you've run your setup for a bit, you will know that you can trust your riser and eventually forget about it... It will just connect to your PSU with the molex connector. 'nuff said, and thanks for notifying me of any updates
