THIS is a PC-Q25. Like in most small Lian-li cases the PSU is mounted directly in front of the motherboard. This makes it very difficult to work on it. Some of the components in these builds may look familiar. The Slob underwent a controlled demolition after I just couldn't pick it up anymore.
This machine is going to be a headless music server, but even so it shouldn't look like this when the side panel is removed.
Picked up an HDPlex 200W PSU. Leaves a lot more room for the important stuff
The AC-DC converter just managed to fit under the radiator and the DC-ATX converter plugs right into the motherboard.
It's pretty tough to score a 2x ram block so I used a universal motherboard block. Could have been a couple of millimeters wider
The plan was to just have an NVMe drive but I guess Sandybridge is getting a little old and won’t boot from it .Ended up installing Daphile OS on 80G Intel ssd and using NVMe for storage
The tiny EK pump in there is perfect for serving music. Barely audible
Going to post this now before I lose it again.
