[Project] L3p D3sk

Still had to change some things under my floor.
Today i found some time.

Had to replace some fans on my rad for Scythe GT's
Replaced the green tube for Tygon black.

Also replaced the 3 remaining GT's in my desk for green Nanoxia's




GT's out




Only 5cm space for my hand.




Nanoxia's in.




Here my radiator in the distance.




On request also made a little movie of my trip :)





Mobile doesn't work here, but baby phone works fine :D




De GT's on their place and tubes replaced !










And another small test.
Wanted to know what stuff goes trough my loop.
This way it was easy to discover.



Click it between my tubes and enable the pumps for one hour.




Then disconnect the filter while pumping and stop the pumps as fast as you can.
This is so the dirt really stays in the filter.



All tiny hairs and wtf, even a piece of my sigarettes :p



Till next time :p
 
Received a nice UV led board today.

It's specially for making photo's from UV-active parts.
You can only use it for 5 minutes per time, else it gets too hot :)





Small surprise between the UV leds :)




And some pictures with the effect















 
The date for powder-coating the desk has set !
Next week Tuesday ill bring it over there :p


10 minutes before unplugging it




And 3 hours later :)




Also took me half an hour to think how i will place the second PSU.

Decided to place them like this, ill creata another 120mm fanhole between the psu's tomorrow



Wanted to use these for my quick connectors outside the desk





Maybe till tomorrow :p
 
Yesterday the idea came up for hiding my cables from the 3 screens.



Some won't like it, but for me this works great since my pc is more open then closed :p
So this way it's very easy to take away the backplates.




It's only connected with the left side of the panel.




2 hours later it was really empty, looks like a reverse buildlog :(




Sanding it some.







Like a bomb exploded.




Here i was finished for today :)

 
I do hope so :)

Finally got the rubber removed.
Thank god for WD40 :)




Also made the fanhole for between the 2 psu's




Just some sanding left



And the extra fillports for future usage ^^



Also removed some of the backplate again, this time with a grinder :)

 
Powdercoat is going to be black I assume? It's looking fantastic by the way, I enjoyed your little adventure under ground :D
 
I had never seen such an awesome mod like this!!! Keep up the great work! Looking forward to see what it looks like after the powder coat!
 
Awesome job, cannnnnnoooot wait to see the finished product!
 
Thanks man :)

Made the last fillport hole for future usage




Almost forgot i need to sand these too so they can be powder-coated in the same color.




Hmm nasty job, sanding anodized aluminum by hand, think i'll use the grinder for it.

 
I am witness to this, and I am proud, lol. Really awesome stuff man. Keep it up.
 
Quite a busy day.

Still had to sand some plates.
Then my wife came in with a nice box.




Also an other package i ordered at Highflow



These Cubitek extension cables are 50cm, very thin and not expensive at all



Later that day i brought away my desk to the powder coater.




As curious as i am i asked everything :)

Here all the uncoated products slowly move to a man who "powders" all the hard to reach spots.



This guys :)
2 meters behind him the machine powders the rest.




It's just some sort of dry powder that normally would let go.
But because it's electrically loaded it's sticks to the product.







After that everything goes to the oven.




Here it's heated up till 200 degrees Celsius so the coat gets very hard and equal




Back home i had to unpack the BP box :)



Offcourse i want to use these on my backplate after getting such a nice box :)






Want to use these Ram Mods for under my GPU's.



Also want to use these X-stations since they are smaller and have female molex.






Cause the desk will be black soon and all my blocks are plexi, i will try these blocks in plexi too.






Same here.







And some extra and new kind of fittings, ill need them for future updates :p







Vincent and Bitspower ... really you guys RULE :p

Got a real nice present from Bigfoot Networks !
A Bigfoot Networks™ Killer™ 2100 Gaming Network Card :)
Thanks Timo and thanks for the help Xtrafris !)

Off course i want to try that out, im really in for some on line gaming after such a year :)



Casemodder Xtrafris also sent me a K`Bling :D
Wanted to use this to mod it on the Killer™ but seems i don't have enough space.






So first with it's cap removed next to the Gpu's.
Maybe later i'll use a pci-e extender to make some space.





Think i'll just make a square hole in the gtx580 backplate for the network cable.
It's the only Pci-e 4x slot left.



Also got a 7000rpm polisher with some sort of wax from my brother-in-law.
You need to hold it tight, but the effect is perfect !

 
Most epic desk ever. Do u anticipate it being close to silent when done?
 
You mean if the desk will be silent ?
It certainly is, there's no sound at all when you're sitting behind the desk.
Thats cause i used isolating rubber tape between the glass


Finally !! :p



And still exciting :)




All unpacked.




Very glad i coated the Bitspower radguards in the same color.




Also the lianli backplate.



This is how it will look.
Monday ill get some new rubber tape for the desk and glass so i can lift it in the desk holder.







Before the desk goes into desk holder i first wanted to polish it, but need a new polisher first, this one had no hairs left :)
 
Small update.

Changed 2 fittings, looked nicer .




Sleeved some led cables, and modded the Killer 2100 in the gtx580 backplate.
(Also a beer with my neigbour :p )




Fans also in its place.




And the Ram leds in action.
Think it'll look nice in the dark.



Also made a small movie of the leds and the mess :)

just ridiculous!! man you have done some serious work there buddy, you got my full respect!

just out of curiosity how much was the initial build cost for just the desk?
 
Thanks man :)

Just the desk around 700 euro's material.
(Aluminum, glass, powder coat)
 
jaw dropping.. but if i had to guess the coating was probably $200 euro's if not more?

well atleast you know you'll never need another case or desk :D

any plans for dually?
 
Nah the coating was pretty cheap, 90 euro's
Dually ?
 
well damn our powder coating here in the states is expensive lol. not bad then..

dual system/ 2 pc's
 
Waited for this picture for 8 months to see this result myself :)
Im Very happy with it !




Bottom almost ready, still need 1 radguard.




Very slowly it gets its old shape :)

 
That just looks absolutely beautiful. Congratulations on making it this far. Now get that sucker back together!
 
amazing! I can't wait to see the finished product in all its tricked-out glory! I love all the bitspower fittings, their sponsorship looks like a big score!
 
Wow, you just keep going at it!! :) I really enjoy going through this worklog. Oh thanks for posting about the extension cable... just something that I was looking for!
