The Adventures of CGBR Technologies, Ltd.

Hey, everyone!       So, it's been quite a while since our last post, and I apologize for the radio silence. The biggest hurdle we've had as a potential company is the distance. As the other members of CGBR Technologies already know, I moved back to the United States in March, and have been pushing to get through college as fast and cheap as possible. As such, I've hardly had the time to work on or talk about Project Mariana. I'm attempting to get back in touch with Adam, Aaron, and Oliver. As soon as that happens, we will (hopefully) be back to work! The only major difference is that the developments may take longer to be shared with you guys, simply due to the time difference and distance. I look forward to sharing this beautiful technology with the world!             -Dylan

Hey guys,      we are discussing a relatively new technology both with how the hardware and software combined  will work. So lets take a look at the modular computing and how it works. Software has to be written for the module to swap back to the integrated hardware.      The software that needs to be written to redirect power and to read different modules all the time so that they can become hot swap able. The technology required is really reliable and I will release more information about this technology soon, as I cannot give to much away at the moment.      The software aspect of this is really complex and takes a lot of processing and power from the hardware as it has to overlap with one another.The software will have some cool looking utilities to maintain the devices such as the hard drives and other components.      Utilities include fan control for the cooling system for hardware like the CPU and graphics u...

Hello everyone,      Sorry for the lack of posting recently but we have been making some exciting advancements. This post is really to share progress with you all because we know we have had some traction in the community lately. We would just like to thank you because the number of people looking at the blog has been going up a lot lately, meaning we are clearly reaching the right audience. Without further adue here are 3 of the advancements we have made.      #1) Making a website - Currently CGBR Technologies has no website online! We only have this blog and social media accounts. We are currently working on making a website so we can show off some more ideas for example the 'Customise Your PC' section that allows you to see what sort of hardware you would want in the system and how much it would cost you. This website will also have a community driven forum for all to contribute to.      #2) Design of the computer - The design of the...

Hey guys, it's Adam again. If anyone is interested, we're busy setting up various social media platforms for Project Mariana.We plan to start a YouTube channel for the project in the next couple of months. We encourage all of our readers to follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. In our social media posts, we'll show you videos and posts of the team and Project Mariana. If there are any requests on what type of content you'd like to see on Project Mariana, let us know in the comments section. As well, we'd like show some bits of the Project, like designs, on these social media sites. We encourage our followers and viewers to interact with us in order to help us better understand what you guys would like from Project Mariana. If your interested search CGBR Technologies on Google, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. Also, don't forget to subscribe to our blog as we will give exclusive information about Project Mariana only on the blog. We ...

Greetings, my Potential Prospectors!      I've been working for a bit on a value proposition for our product, for those who wish to see what exactly we intend for this product. It outlines a rough concept, the plausibility of success of this product, and what sets our product apart from the other attempts at modular computers. I've not much else to say on this, but it is available for download at the end of this post. Be sure to offer feedback in the comments below! Project Mariana Value Proposition With Great Power comes Great Responsibility,                -Dylan from CGBR Technologies

Hey everyone,      My name is Aaron and I am one of the four members of CGBR Technologies. This is my first post, so I would like to use it to introduce myself. I am one half of the hardware team at CGBR along with Oliver. I am 17 years old and have a large interest in IT and most of my spare time is spent playing video games. I'm knowledgeable in all of the principals of building and maintaining computer systems and infrastructure.      So I'll be posting mostly on our prototyping process. As of right now we have all of our designs for our prototype part, but we have not been able to start development. This is because we do not have the parts required for the prototype as of a lack of funding. We plan to get a prototype made as soon as possible, enabling us to market it to different companies.     At the time of writing, we have been through multiple iterations of our designs trying to figure out which is best suited to our concepts. We al...

Hey everyone,      My name is Oliver and I am another one of the 4 members of CGBR Technologies. As this is my fist post I would like to take the time to introduce myself to you! I am a part of the hardware development team in CGBR Tech along with Aaron with whom I design the PCB ' s and general hardware around the computer.      Over the Christmas holidays we have done a lot of research into Project Mariana and we're even closer to making it a reality! We have spoken to numerous companies and developed many sketches for the final design of the project. We are sorry that we couldn't post over Christmas but we can assure you that we were still hard at work.     Now for the business part of the post. I, as a part of the hardware team, design PCB ' s. Recently, I have finished the design for the ARAM (Advanced RAID Array Module). This PCB holds up to 8 Drives (which are 6 x 3.5" and 2 x 2.5"). With the capability of RAID on board configura...
