Beautiful. Too bad I'm not handy worth a crap.
Yes it does :up:
Anyhow thank you everyone for all the great comments, I appreciate it!
I'm still working on the lighting for the top cold cathodes didn't look right so I'm working on using a custom wired LED setup for a one of a kind look.
Here's a before and after,
Before

How does the air coming through the rads get out of the case and what kind of air temps do you get in the upper compartment during gaming ?
Very very nice work and no clutter desktop :D
It's cooler than the case was and I use five less fans now, six 120's sucking in through two filtered radiators for positive pressure. (blue furnace filter)

Some of the air exits through (small hole in the photo) the double radiator for cooling the motherboard now instead of two 80mm fans i used before also I had two 120's for the case which I don't use anymore.
As for the upper area I've got a couple holes under the motherboard one for CPU access other for wiring, enough air from the pressure goes through the holes to keep the upper compartment cool and then out the gap in the front glass door you can feel it coming out anyhow it worked out a lot better than I though it would.

Nice one, USForces - saw this one at EVGA - thanks for sharing it here. Very creative.
I originally saw this over at OCN on the "Computer Workstation" thread and wow that's an awesome mod!
I got a question. Does the bottom peice of wood with the bays and res swing open or is it temp in place?
Nice!
Just one question, how do you get airflow to the RAM? They will get quite hot? Or?!?
Very nice!
Thanks,
Ram is ok there is air moving anyhow corsair has a lifetime warraty :p:
This is the best dark shot I can do it's still no where close to the dark purple
Before and after adjusting the color my camera can't do purple.

Waaaaooow, that is just one of the coolest things Iv seen in this forum! It must be pretty much silent huh? Totaly awsome job, I luv it!
Will be flawless when you will get rid of these yellow wires (gpu):sofa:
Yep, last RMA I sent them two 1GB XMS pro and all they could give me was two 2GB XMS pro it was a good RMA :D
Yellow goes with purple, LOL
I know the yellow wires are going to be fixed soon...just haven't got to it yet.
Got the purple to show up a little better after playing with the camera settings, wish I could get a night shot of what it really looks like.

I vote you get a nice 100 gallon fish tank like in your concept designs and use that for your reservoir. You could always put it in a fridge, too. Cool your computer and your booze in the same place! And its next to your computer! Multitasking, and probably the ultimate in cooling, next to using alcohol and a freezer to superchill it.
hmm I'm not sure but it looks like somebody entered USFORCES' desk mod work as their own into an NZXT contest and won:

Beautiful, simple functional...very very very extremely well done....I wish I could work on something like this soon.
Thanks,
Looks like NZXT. Corp removed the photo...
cool build i like the pc integrated into the desk kinda cleans things up.
do you feel any vibrations from the fan and pump when using the mouse or keyboard.
Love it man, very cool build.
Thank you!
And thanks to CrowTorbot which informed me this guy sushrukh which was banned from here for cheating in a contest won me a new case for entering my Desk into a NZXT contest without me knowing about it, LOL
