This is the log for a build I'm currently working on for a client. I'm excited to be playing with miniturized hardware and get paid for it

I'm on my phone so I can't upload them directly, and since I edited the top post, it didn't import the pics. About to edit that out

Subbed for sure!

Another mockup, probably the last. This time with the mobo installed. I'll add some standoffs to put a little more breathing room between the PSU and HDD and I'll secure the HDD in place as well. The rad won't fit with the fan in front, so it's mounted on the backside as an exhaust, since the Helix fans perform better in push. I also flipped the fan in the PSU so it will be an intake. These may change once I get the rig together and tested, though either way may not be a big deal, since this won't be overclocked.

Edit: image in next post

I should also note that this particular PSU had a plastic trim that screwed onto the front (seen in one of the other photos), that I had to remove to make clearance for the tubes. This PSU is tried and true and been through a lot of mods already, so it'll serve my friend well for this build.

Ordered the CPU today, found a good deal on an i5 3550S, cheaper than the 3450 I was planning on

. Once it gets here I'll throw some of my RAM in it and make sure everything works, and install windows and such.
