[Pimp Your Rig]

My First build!! I want to thank everyone in the forum for helping me understand what this is all about, helping me select parts, and helping me with my many questions, and I'm not done asking! Ha-ha!

I decided on a "LIAN LI PC-V354B Black Aluminum MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case" because I travel between Michigan and Arizona and wanted light and small (relatively speaking). This case holds (7) 3.5" drives, (2) 2.5" drives, and you can probably mount another 3.5" drive in the optical drive area. It is very well built. It comes with (2) 120mm fans in front and (1) 140mm fan on top. I added another 120mm fan in the rear. It also has a nice variable fan controller circuit that accepts all the fans. The drives are staying cool in the low to mid 30’s. I’m using unmenu and a few other add-ons and everything is working great! I'm having some problems understanding the Share settings but I think I’m getting it now.

Thanks again for all your help!

I just finish my 2nd unraid with the same case.  What are your thoughts on mounting the PS that way?  Its better for cabling but the fan facing the case wall.  I mounted mine with the fan facing the motherboard.
