Alice's Overkill ChrisRay Memorial Tower of Power LTB (Long Term Build)

AliceSML79

i decided to build a pc in memory of my brother so some parts are overkill.  but it will also meet my extreme multi tasking issues. like the creation of AMV's (Anime Music Videos), Video/Photo/Music Editing, Gaming, and being the Ultimate HTPC DVR Setup.  lets start with a description of who my brother was.

 

 

 

ChrisRay

   Chris was a very smart young man.  even from a early age he was taking apart and upgrading computers.  He was well known in the online gaming and tech forums world.  He would go out of his way to help anyone.

 

   Chris stared doing reviews of different graphics cards for online sites.  I guess that's how he was discovered by nVIDIA.  He would test new products and drivers and report back to nVIDIA about any problems.  Chris also ran the nVIDIA website I been told.  Chris was active in lots of tech forums as well quite a few online games like World Of Warcraft & Everquest. 

 

Part 1: So far i have managed to dismantle the maingear case and pull out the burnt up case fans.  i have also mounted 2 of chris's old DVD burners  other then that just kind of sitting on a table

was to protect led wires that litght up acrylic side panel.  leve it to my cat to rip threw the tape tyo destroy wires.  they also destroyed the entire front io wiring too.

 

its been storming all night and it scares one my cats so i think thats the reason it got destroyed but was a one off case.

im downgrading to 4or5x 6tb red drives in a raid 5 so it be a 20tb dvr.  in the last 2 years i have had 4 dvrs fail on me n lost all my shows.  with a raid 5 array i have some redundancy and if cable card dies i lose non my shows.  see im in bed because my disability about 18hrs a day because my pain  so my ps4, ps3, ps2, psx, laptop are my best entertainment right now. i also have hulu plus i use.

 

plus im over building it so it will be a stable and secure.  plus kind of a memorial pc in memory of my brother
