[Project] Lian Li PC-Q11

Having just about completed my main rig, [Project] Lian Li A05NB LC, I've decided to build a smaller, low power/low cost machine to act as a Home Server/HTPC. Guess we can call it the main rigs little bro. I've been accumulating parts for the past few weeks and finally put it all together. No project name as of yet since I'm not very creative when it comes to those sorts of things. I'll have to come up with something later, or not. :)

I'm no artist but more of the practical type, so that's the approach I will be taking throughout this build.

Welcome to my build log
[Project] Lian Li PC-Q11

Alright, enough of the chit chat. Lets get down to business.

The Hardwarez:
Lian Li PC-Q11
Intel Core i3-2100 Sandy Bridge
Intel 2600k CPU Cooler (don't hate :P)
G.SKILL ECO Series 4GB (2 x 2GB)
GIGABYTE GA-H67N-USB3-B3 LGA 1155
GIGABYTE GeForce GT 520 OC
Silverstone SST-ST45SF 450 Watt
OCZ Vertex 60Gb SSD
2x WD Caviar Green 2Tb

Now lets get the modding started :green4:

First up, MNPC Tech "Micro" Case Feet. Love the feet but am not very happy with the OEM placement. It looks off, way off. I'll have to remount them further out towards the corners.

Here's the hardware test fit. Yep, it all fits and works well. Messy as all heck I know, lol. Well, its a start...

B-Magic, Gray and Black sleeving will be used in this build. Gotta love MDPC Sleeving, its surely in a league of its own. :thumbsup:

Alright, that's all for now. Soon as the sleeving arrives I can get back to work tiding things up ;)

Thank you viewing,
OCM :cool3:

I looked at that case I don't know how many times when I was contemplating the build before my last open case. Nice!

Phase 1 will be Air. The reason I'm using a stock intel cooler for now is because I have a Koolance CPU-360 water block and MCP355 pump on hot standby :) Still not 100% if I'll be going the water route since its a low power cpu and gpu which can't be overclocked. If I do go water it would be purely for the fun of it without performance in mind.

Thanks, took me a while to pick this one out. Its small but big enough to stuff with water cooling goodies if I decided to go that route.

Thanks, the shitty wiring is to piss you off :P

Slapped the 2600k stock cooler on the i3-2100 since it's beefier. And yes, the 2600k does come with a stock cooler.
