Hi, I'm new here, so sorry for some mistakes and my english FINISHED - final pics on page 2! My PC was very noisy when I played games, so I was thinking more and more about creating watercooling rig, but it was rather dream. Few months ago I need a new desk and in the same time I saw L3P's projects (L3p desk, Cross by Redharbinger).. So I decided to make my own desk including computer with water cooling. SPONSORS With PSU V850 and 4x JetFlo 120 red fan. With EK-HD fittings and angle adapters. GTX770DC2OC With Alphacool radiators and few special fittings. Thank a lot to sponsors. I can't finis this project without these parts. I spent hours figuring out how to do it all. Next days I was making some sketches in Google Sketchup and after that and then I finally drew everything in AutoCAD. CURRENT PROGRESS
FIRST UPDATE After laser cutting and bending the "main" part of desk, I bring it home and test it little bit Everything started on this nice laser cutter And continues on this powder coater Finally at home! Testing some old MB and fans, everything fits as I wanted. After that I must do slot for MB. I used back part of old Eurocase.. I cuted off all unnecessary parts then I resurfaced it. And test it into lasercutted part.
Hi, I am pleased to introduce a new sponsor - Aquatuning. They joined the project with beautiful radiators and special fittings. Thanks a lot to this company!
UPDATE Making the HDD holder, I try so much options and this is the best imo. Painted with RAL9005 and test in in desk I also paint the MB slot I started sleeving PCIE and 24PIN. 6pin PCIE 24PIN + waiting for black connector
This looks very good! I really like that you made extra space for your legs. That is the main issue I have with desktop builds. Looking forward to the final results!
UPDATE Last week I was very busy, because I was making the desk from wood. I am not so good in wooden works, so I made the desk with my friend in his factory. That is him! Wooden part of desk is made from material Egger1137ST (oak). Afterk co-op working with me friend i bring the desk home.
