Scratch Build – Complete Project: L3p D3sk - Bit-Tech Mod Of The Year 2011 Winner.

Got a nice package today ^^

Some guy named Wwwicked i know from the Highflow forums creates selfmade ledstrips.

We were both curious how they would look in the desk.

First of all, very professional wwwicked !

Specially for him double resolution pics














25 and 90 degree leds







One Ledstrip is UV25-UV25-Bl25 the other UV25-UV25-Bl90






These pics were for myself
This is the effect you get with wwwickleds !































Wwwicked, thanks man !

 

Looks beautiful How much were those strips?

 

I think around 15 euro's ^^

 

Each?

 

Yes, i got a strip from him 2

Its in dutch but google is therefore,

http://forum.highflow.nl/f43/tka-ledstrips-wwwicked-9150/

 

They cost 17,50 euro each excluding shipment and specialties like sleeving and longer cables.

By default, all the strips got 20 centimeters of cable and a molex passthrough cable.
The sleeving is a specialty that L3p asked me for.

Because of this incredible beautifull build, i sponsored him these strips.

I'm currently working on a webshop, it will be in Dutch but if there are many requests i can install the English language as well. For further information, please contact me at sales@ledsfeertje.nl.

Or look at the Highflow page: http://forum.highflow.nl/f43/tka-ledstrips-wwwicked-9150/

 

Small update.

Thanks Freddy !
Without Highflow this wouldn't have been possible !








Wanted to connect the extra ssd when i had 10 minutes spare time, but ...
Both multilane cables i had connected were full
So had to drain the loop AGAIN so i could add an extra multilane specially for the ssd




Still need to think of something to make it look better.




Very satisfied with the speed, i guess i can't get more out of it cause of the iop341 limitations.

 

Nice results there

All that bothers me is that you won't have trim support.

 

I do realize that, but i had 2 1st generation intel ssd's in raid0 for 2 years, they still did 500MB/s
I think it's overrated.

 

And the garbage collection of Sandforce 1200 controllers is right up there, so I say screw TRIM and go for RAID0. At least, that's why I'm going to do with my own project.

Oh, awesome project you got there - it just got a bit more awesome now.

 

Nice desk

 

Thanks Antony !

 

I read it too- Subscriber Edition!

 

Sneak preview

Nice one! The green on the ROG logo looks great!

 

Another small test

 

Found some time today to cleanup the Asus 5790.

Temporary on an Asus EN210 till the other hardware comes, who needs WC




After that it was time to get the third screen hanging

2 hours of measuring, fitting, mounting, unmounting and everything again

 

After 3 weeks of mailing with Asus, Highflow and EKWB, finally some pics for you guys.


After building this in im ready with the hardware part, and hope to finally enjoy a game

Off course it still needs to be powdercoated in mat black in the comming weeks/months.
I hope to finish off this project then.

I specially want to thank :



This because they did a very nice sponsoring.
Without Highflow i could never made this SLI dream true.

Freddy en colleagues thanks !




For the Asus Rampage III Extreme i won in the Asus Pride contest.
And for the Asus GTX480 i could use to order some other Asus cards @ Highflow
