Definitely a compliment. I just have no woodwork / tool skills, so ANYTHING like this looks like absolute MAGIC to me.
Thanks The right side will mainly house the radiator and water cooling in general, the left side atm is just housing the psu, however I will prob make some sort of storage compartment later on.
UPDATE! Sorry for the late update its been a busy few days as you will see. So Demolished my old desk to make room for the new one to take its place then had a few goodies come thru the post. Some nice fan grills Reservoir Front I/O Which didnt come well built imo As you can see this is me pushing the reset button in fully, but no contact with the switch. So i got myself some new nuts and bolts and some sticky foam and hey presto modified it and now works. Here it is fitted and working My home made fan filters from my misses old tights, yes some needle work was involved Mobo tray and fan grills installed My steel plate for my switches sprayed and installed (1 hole cut so far) The desk in its rightful home.
Small update. Just on a side project im trying to make a break away cable for my headset, yes im forever walking away with my headset on and no im not a fan of wireless headsets. Anyway i decided to make a magnetic connector, so got myself a 4 pole extender cable and some small rare earth magnets, i then proceeded to strip the wires and start to solder the wires to them then realised magnets loose there magnetism under extreme heat. My work around was simple solder the wires onto tiny pieces of metal which in turn will attract the magnet which then connects the wires to the magnets. Now the only prob i have is that the housing for the 4 magnets is a little to flexible so trying to figure that out atm.
UPDATE Not a huge amount been done lately, mainly waiting on parts however i have finished my break away cable its not the prettiest but its functional and will save breaking headset cables. Next update will be the hinges and the actuator
Neat idea. Does it also eliminate that scratching noise/missing channel problem plugs get? I don't think you were supposed to use winter stockings.
Tbh I thought it would be a problem but the magnets are strong enough to keep a good contact, however if you pull the cord slightly you do hear it scratching which you kinda expect. Yes the airflow with them thick tights is not good and will be swapped for regular ones, well done for spotting it
That magnetic connector is neat. I would be worried about accidentally reversing the channels though.
No chance of that happening as there is one pair that have opposite polarity to the rest so always snaps into the right connection
So its been a while since my last update mainly saving up for parts but got some stuff done. So firstly decided to move the headphones lead as my knee kept bashing it and causing it to fall off, so ive relocated it to under the desk. Also got the new psu thru the post i bit overkill i know but gives me head room to eventually sli and overclock. Also got my wall mounted monitor arm now which i love Last but not least ive ventured into cable sleeving as you can imagine my psu is very far away from most things so ive needed to create my own extended cables which also makes sense to sleeve them, what a learning curve that is. Ive only done the 24pin and x2 6 pin so far and the 6 pins need some combes but i really like the look so far. Thats all for a while until i get more parts ie pumps and gpu+block but until then i will finish off the sleeving
Nice to see some1 else using tights, just finished adding some myself far better than filters from the shop so long as you don't get any ladders lol
