Scratch Build – In Progress UDesk [Airtight, Very low noise PC built in Desk] Updated 3th July 2014

This is amazing.

 

UPDATE!
The internal structure is almost complete.















And this is how I will take photos of the table construction

 

More progress, today you can check the table construction coming together.

 

Looks very professional, nice work uberniner

 

This has the potential to be the best desk i ever seen. Love the design and the atention to the detail you have.

Cheers

 

This gets better after every update. Looking really good. keep it up.

 

An UPDATE!

Preparing the inner radiator (this one will cool the interior air)







The outer rad is huge to provide enough semi passive cooling power.



Finaly installed the desk on the table. It looks better in RL, the photos suck because I dont really know how to take pictures of reflective surfaces.

 

damn thats good

 

Another progress. This time handmade interconnect plate!

This was quite difficult to mill by using only drilling machine, no CNC or even milling machine. But nothing is imposible.







Also I made watercooled box for disk drives (both HDD and SSD)









Last but not least: I will be making reservoir myself too! Here is the input material - Ikea vase for 10USD, 8cm diameter and 30cm long

 

It is getting better and better with very update good craftmanship Mate

 

if youre going to use a vase of ikea, make sure to have a tight seal, and if the water pressure it could crack

 

Fantastic stuff! I was amazed enough at this being a budget build but seeing what you've done with that is all the more pleasing! Awesome!

 

No worries mate! The vase is made out of thick glass and there will be only minimal pressure involved, so no need to use something extra strong.

Anyways good thinking!

 

I really appreciate the fact you noticed this is a very tight budget build with pretty much no sponsorship. I made the whole table at cost lower then fittings in other mods and that's something I'm proud of

Thank you guys for kind words, it helps a lot

 

Another UPDATE! Time to finish the reservoir.













And lets mount things into the case!

 

Man I am so jealous of your time and patience!! I love the Vase Reservoir idea... Is the construction for the reservoir 3D printed? or how did you make it?

 

The base of the reservoir is made out of two levels, one is textit or cuprexit, the other is pvc, both are made just by drilling and filing the edges etc. They are sealed with 8cm O ring between them.

The vase is sealed with silicon X ring i made specifically for this purpouse.

I have new casebuild in mind, so i will take photos of that including the progress of making stuff so others can see.

 

What is that passive radiator you're using? How big is it, and how much?! This is an awesome build so far, and i'm loving the custom routed WC loop.. Especially how it all links to one side!

 

That radiator is a industrial AC cooling unit with dimensions of 50*50*10cm, copper tubes and aluminum fins. Very powerfull

I bought is as used and it was 10USD hehe ...did i mention this is a tight budget project

 

UPDATE! Installing first components, things are looking good.
