    This desk/case looks awsome, and quality of the build is fantastic :thumb:. I also had no idea that polishing the CPU would make such a difference. You got my vote

    Still figuring out how to solve this little problem.
    When i started building the desk i made small holes in the backplate, thought it would be enough.

    [​IMG]

    Never thought about the 4x sata + 2x molex per hole at the right side of the desk. :)

    [​IMG]

    Thinking of making one big hole between the 2 sets of hdd's in the backplate and turn around one set.
    So all cables go through one big hole.

    [​IMG]

    Also tested again with some mirrorfoil.

    [​IMG]

    But im quiting with this idea ..
    It's either mirroring too much, or darkening too much, can't find a way between them without losing the nice sight at the hardware.

    [​IMG]

    And some random pics, love to play with it ;)

    Should turn it around a bit so i see 3 rings.

    Well sleeving has to wait a few days ..

    Ran into some weird problem.
    Got twice a Bsod, and accidentally saw the voltages in the bios..

    [​IMG]

    Even the cpu voltage is 0.03V higher then i want it to be.

    When i remove the raidcard, the problem still isn't gone, voltages lower a little bit then.
    So tomorrow ill change the psu.

    :sigh:

    Small update :)


    My Corsair HX1000 probably died :(

    [​IMG]

    Glad that some1 could help me out with his spare PSU so i could find the problem.

    And yes .. Other psu, and voltages were normal again.

    Found something i maybe want to use to lift the glass.

    Bitspower Shiny Silver Hinge.

    [​IMG]

    And got the ordered relay to switch all my leds and lighting with one Bulgin momentary switch

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    And some tests offcourse.
    Found a weird problem with the tempsensors.
    When i switch them in hand mode, they work fine, but when i use the momentary switch the sensors become blue but don't show the temperature.
    Hmm ...
