Plague's LAN Box aka "Pandemic"

[Plague]

So I am building a LAN box so I am leave my Green Machine "Phoenix" at home. Wes' lunchbox showed me just how small things could get, but then he showed me the LIAN LI PC-TU100 and I was like that is what I am looking for.

Specs:
AMD A10 6800K Black Edition 4.1GHz Quad-Core
MSI A75IA-E53 Socket FM2 mITX AMD Motherboard
Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB DDR3-1600 PC3-12800
KINGSTON HyperX 120GB SSD
WD BLACK SERIES WD5000BPKX 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s
LG Super-Multi Notebook 8x DVD Rewriter SATA Model GT80N
ASUS GTX670-DCMOC-2GD5 GeForce GTX 670 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0
LIAN LI PC-TU100B Black Aluminum Mini-ITX Tower Case
SILVERSTONE ST45SF-G 450W SFX12V 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular

SO here are the pictures:

I picked up this hardware a few weeks ago, and was using it as an upgrade to my cube mod "Ice-Phoenix" but decided I want to go full mATX in the cube.

This is the rest of the hardware that I needed to make this mini case work. Laptop 500Gb WD Black data drive, Asus DirectCU Mini 670 graphics card. And because I am going to be taking this with me to work during the week, I needed DVD ROM to rip DVDs with while I am there.

I was going to pull the SSD out of my laptop, but decided against that and got this Kingston HyperX 120Gb drive.

These 3 pictures are the LIAN LI PC-TU100 Black case opened up.




Well that is the first post, I have a second to do in just a moment with build pics.

Ok, so I started pulling things in the case First was the DVD-ROM.

Pictures shows it installed.


Second I mounted the 2 hard drives in the bottom of the case.


I pulled the motherboard from the cube, pictures show it with waterblock from the cube, but I don't think I can custom water cool in this small of case. I am trying to figure out a way, but I can't figure out how to put a normal pump in the case LOL and have it still get air flow of some kind.


I mounted the PSU just to figure out spacing


Then I mounted the graphics card, now this was out of order, and made it more difficult to get in with the PSU already in.


And just to show everything in without cables, here you go.


At this point it took awhile to figure out that custom watercooling wasn't going to be easy or cheap since the parts I had extra would not work. I decided to just buy a Corsair H60 watercooler


I got the fan and radiator mounted to the front wall, you can see I have just a little bit of room between the ram and the radiator.


Ok, so after figuring out/ fighting with the block/pump unit I got it mount and was able to get the PSU and wires all in.
FRONT:


BACK:


sad the back looks cleaner then the front. LOL But it is working, and I am installing windows now.

Going to try to figure out a window mod for front door before NexusLAN. Will post when I figure it out.
