Mini ITX Lian Li PC-05SX Build

Hey all,

I decided it was time to build a new PC as my one as good as it is still, it's 7+ years old and the MBoard is showing signs of decay. The USB Ports are dead and have been dead for a year, the battery has died so I thought it was better to just build a new PC. I wanted to make a mini PC but one that wasn't impossible to build in but yet can be powerful enough to play games with my GTX 1080 card. So after receiving my kit from Overclockers here is my progress.

It's all up and running I just need to decide if I should install Windows 10 on my old 120GB SSD or 256GB SSD and remove my old OS.

I had some trouble with getting the machine to boot but manage to sort it

2x 1TB SSDs

I never built an ITX before, it's always been ATX, I just need to install the SSD for my OS into the DVD bay before i close this all up. Just wish I could clean up the cabling more.

It would be great to do if I knew how to custom make the cables, I just had to make do with what I got :/ I have some more cable adhesive clips coming so will try tidying it up a bit more

Very nice build, congrats!

Like mentioned a bit of cable management and this will look even better.

Get some Phanteks Halo RGB fan covers for the top , link to the board , and if RGB if your thing, will complete the Strix Look

I like itx and I like lian li .... bui that case is grossly overpriced imo. Your pics are ok but under lit .. you simply cannot have too much lighting when especially when you have your rgb's on...
custom cables in USA ?? I think can make the cables you need...but not cheap . But then with 2x1tb ssd you going full on

Nice build mate, that case is stunning but like others have said if you can sort the cables out that would top it off

Pretty sure cablemod do cables for your psu if you email them they will do custom length cables
