I couple of years ago I started to build my own personal editing studio. Editing in terms of photography and video(Not Film). While I have not incorporated yet. I did get a few a projects under my belt. Things have changed in my life, new woman, changes to the house. I also needed to move around the office. I Move my workstation cabinet into the corner out of the way. The result however was a difficult task of booting up and accessing the various inputs and out puts for the video. If anything happened I had to take apart my desk and get to the workstation. That happened(Windows), firewire card no longer responded, plugging in my camera for HD transition so not an option. I decided to move the innards to a new desktop chassis from the 3U rack mounted chassis. The plan was to move the cabinet to office and repurpose the 3U for something else. Maybe a very large ZFS ISCSI storage array. Ah the best laid plans, I went to my favorite store best buy. Purchased nice new cool looking mid-tower. I used to build computers in the old days. I started when I was six. It seems I had forgotten a few things. Like checking to make sure the motherboard would fit. Because it didn’t. I now need to find and EEB 12×13″ desktop chassis for my Tyan S2895.
Update: Got another chassis from PC Warehouse. They never let me down. I have one issue with my SCSI drives being 80pin vs. 68pin RAID controller. I had drives in an enclosure and with the new case that wasn’t an option. I should have the converts in a day or so.
Update: No SCSI adapters today. Have to wait, another day.
