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

The 27"dell has almost 2 times the resolution of the Philips 58"
But indeed the size of that Philips 21:9 would REALLY be awesome, who needs bezels ?

 

Exactly! The large area and weird aspect ratio should fit the desk just fine, with the bezel hidden under the desk's edges. Relay the desktop glass over the top of the LCD panel, bump up the lighting inside the desk to compensate for the missing backlight et voila - the entire desk surface will be able to display little graphs over each component telling you performance and temperature values.

Get bank robbing.

 

OK, please explain how you get the water to glow? From the second I saw this reservoir on you D3sk project I had to have it.

But I do not fully understand how it works. I am looking into purchasing this and creating my first water cooling setup but how do you get the water to glow green?

Welcome to Bit-Tech

I'm using Feser Acid green fluid, it's UV active.
So it will lighten up when you shine with UV light on it.
Im using 2 x 120cm UV led strips to get maximum UV light on it.

Also be aware i don't have the Aquacomputer Silver reservoir but the Aquacomputer Brass (Messing) one.
It's much more shiny

 

Its also much more expensive. Im trying to build this setup for sub250USD so an 85 dollar reservoir really eats into funds. Does the brass have any added benefit aside from being better looking?

also, where did you make the majority of your purchases from?

Thanks for the help, and your desk is an inspiration haha

 

I bought the reservoir second hand. :/
And no, it's exactly the same, only other material and other shiny finish.
Bought all the other WC stuff @ Highflow, the biggest Dutch WC parts store.

 

Here a last update before i post pictures from the Canon camera i borrowed from my best friend AJ


Sanded and polished the logo again.




Quite some work.





Don't wanted it to mirror to much.



Freddy from Highflow was my saviour
Sometimes you can't go on cause you miss 1 cable or connector of a few euro's
Thanks Freddy !!




Also ordered some other stuff also for future projects.









Different sizes of M4, next week i get M3 too




Tapped it at the last moment for the bitspower thumbscrews.




And ready to shoot some photo's.
