Lian Li PC-Q35 Noise dampened, A Homeserver build

[Graveworm]

Hi guys,

 

since a lot of people show off their cool rigs, I thought I'll share something...different and more "normal" with you guys.

 

I actually don't post logs but I am so amazed about this tiny, cool, silent case....I can't even tell. Such a perfect build quality. I am really amazed and I'm saying this cause I have the direct comparison with a Corsair Obsidian 250D in front of me. Lian Li really knows how to build perfect cases.

 

The Build:

I am actually transferring from a Sharkoon Rebel9 Big Tower to this small machine, cause we moved into a new appartement where the internet connection is in the entrance so it needed to get as silent as possible and of course, smaller. Also it shouldn't look as bulky as a server normally looks like ;-)

 

Specs:

CPU: Intel i3-540 on Prolimatech Samuel 17 with a Noctua NF-S12A PWM

RAM: 8GB 1333Mhz Corsair Value Select

Mainboard: Zotac H55-C-E mItx

OS SSD: 2x Samsung 840 Pro 256GB

RAID HDD: 4x 4TB WD Red

Backplane: Cremax Icy Dock MB154SP-B with a Noctua NF-R8 1800rpm

Raid Controller: LSI MegaRAID SAS 9260-4i

ODD: Random LG Drive

Case: Lian Li PC-Q35 silver with Premium King Mod from Caseking (noise dampened)

PSU: Seasonic S12II 330W with a Silverstone CP06 Sata Adapter

Miscellaneous: Noctua NF-S12B redux-700 as Top Exhaust

OS: Windows Server 2012 Essential with Lights Out

I would like to hear your opinions and if you have any questions I'll answer it here.

Maybe someone gets inspired for his next Homeserver build :-)

Just make a post copying looney's template from this post in the

thread (the 10 TB+ thread, that is), looney or I will then add you

to the list.

The rules are all outlined in the first post of that thread.
