Unlike many others who've written a review for Alan @ DNA systems, I was not contacting him for a fit or recovery of an existing laptop or computer - that said, having read the glowing reviews and in dealing personally with Alan I know that should I run into said issues, I know whom to call.
My reason for connecting with Alan was to get his help in turning an old computer tower into a full on media server that I could download and store my crazy dvd and music collection on to and then access at my leisure. I had an uncle who did something similar to this once except instead of creating a media server from a computer he had someone build an entire server room in his house to store all his media. And anyone who has ever been in a server room can tell you - that gets HOT (and expensive) to set up, operate, manage and maintain.
Alan took my vision and ran with it. Within a week came back to me with the plan. Clean up and optimise my existing stock HP tower and pack it with 12 TB of storage space, replace the wonky stock fan and clean up and out all the malware and virus' that had taken up residence on my CPU over the years.
He then took my DVD collection and added them all digitally to the server in both regular and HD format as well as adding some extras he thought I'd like.
Since my PC didn't have an HDMI port he set up a remote access point for the tower via Teamviewer and then installed a program called PLEX so I could access all my content remotely from either my laptop, iPhone, tablet!
For the most part, following a few minor bugs at the beginning, the system now works beautifully AND because my TV has Chrome cast built into it I can cast m content via Wifi to my TV.
I'm not one for techie things but in this instance, I'm nerding out so hard over this media system. Big thanks to Alan for making my digital dream a reality. I'll see you all next decade - poppa's got some movies to watch
