K, so they stepped away and what's next ?
Attachment 130581
OMFG, This is soooo crazy :up:
Hahaha, it was really 'cool' to meet you in person Leeghoofd :up:
Quite a puzzle with what I wanted with the in and outlets of the multi reservoirs and both loops mirrored.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/1.JPG
It became a multireservoir extreme :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/2.JPG
Measuring the reservoir brackets.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/3.JPG
Going to have the tubes to the pump of the left loop in the bottom.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/4.JPG
Again happy this part is aluminum.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/5.JPG
Done!
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/6.JPG
And the first tubes.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/7.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/8.JPG
Also quite a puzzle again with all the small distances.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/9.JPG
Pump for the left loop.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/10.JPG
Might change this later..
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/11.JPG
Mainboard done, reservoirs next.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/12.JPG
With flasher.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/13.JPG
Left loop with flasher.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/14.JPG
And just the RGB LEDs
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/15.JPG
Exiting for me .. first time filling.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/16.JPG
And another adrenaline moment for me, first time enabling the pump. :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/17.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/18.JPG
Also need to find another solution for this, now that i'm running 2 pc's I don't need the long sata cable lengths to the raidcard.
Maybe will order other cables later.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/19.JPG
Great feeling when you don't have any leaks.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/20.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/21.JPG
The Mayhems Pastel and red dye additives.
I was warned this could fail with such a big loop ;)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/22.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/23.JPG
Here I forgot to close one stopfitting after disabling the pump...
Glad is was easy to clean :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/24.JPG
Adding the Aurora, it was a bit scary at the start.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/25.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/26.JPG
But got the result I wanted one minute later.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/27.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/28.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/29.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/30.JPG
Another exiting moment....
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/31.JPG
But it boots with the desired temperatures :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/32.JPG
And a video of the loop, filling and mixing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEFZ-Yrmy6I
Got the Maximus V Formula in.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/33.JPG
Only one day to go, so started right away on the second loop.
Meanwhile testing and installing the left system.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/34.JPG
Raw fingers of all that tube :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/35.JPG
Again exiting..
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/36.JPG
This time premixed before filling.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/37.JPG
Mayhems Aurora, cool stuff :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/38.JPG
But also creepy.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/39.JPG
Both loops running.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/40.JPG
Because there's a team of helpers ready to get the desk one floor down.. quickly close the panels without any management. :D
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/41.JPG
Ready to go!
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/8-Tubing/550/42.JPG
Later today the migration.
So just curious, but how much is invested in this so far? I mean if I ordered all with my money, what am I looking at for something like that?
Michowski, check out the FAQ link in the topicstart :)
20 hours before I bring the desk to the event
Small reminder all photos are linked to bigger format photos :)
You can see on the face expression who's stressed :D
At the right the remains of the little 'incident'.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...reFL/550/1.JPG
A filled pc with a length of 1.50m and 80kg that has to go downstairs almost vertically.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...reFL/550/2.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...reFL/550/3.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...reFL/550/4.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...reFL/550/5.JPG
My wife taking pics and most of all ... paying attention I don't scratch the wall :P
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...reFL/550/6.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...reFL/550/7.JPG
The fun they had..... :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...reFL/550/8.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...reFL/550/9.JPG
Being relieved.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...eFL/550/10.JPG
Temporary on a wooden box so I can do the last adjustments, cable management and installing OS+drivers+software etc.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...eFL/550/11.JPG
The rubbertape I used for sound attenuation and protecting the glass panel.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...eFL/550/12.JPG
Also filed the weld so the cover fits.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...eFL/550/13.JPG
With glass panel.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...eFL/550/14.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...eFL/550/15.JPG
This was a weird moment for me .....
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...eFL/550/16.JPG
"Desk ... I am your father"
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...eFL/550/17.JPG
Awesomeness!!
Holy jeebers, that is so sweet.
Firstlook 2012!
It took me 2 weeks to prepare everything for just a 2 day event including taking 3 days off from work ....
Well in my opinion it was completely worth it! :)
Ready to go! The Friday night before the event.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...look/550/1.JPG
Inspecting the booth.. oops .. I didn't expect the front side wouldn't be able to show.
Too bad .. too late to change, this way they can't touch any of the buttons.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...look/550/2.JPG
The first "wtf's" from the ASUS crew :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...look/550/3.JPG
Last minute adjustments so the glass panel will be flush.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...look/550/4.JPG
Really cool experience, the constructing of an event, 1 big pile of ants :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...look/550/5.JPG
Checking if everything still works.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...look/550/6.JPG
All just fine :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...look/550/7.JPG
Also finding a spot for something from a previous project. On top was no option cause of bending the glass shelf :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...look/550/8.JPG
This is how I had to leave it behind.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...look/550/9.JPG
Believe me, this was pretty scary..
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/10.JPG
Till tomorrow morning!
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/11.JPG
Quickly getting everything running 15 minutes before the doors open up.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/12.JPG
The relaxed overclockers 'Old Scarface' en 'Leeghoofd' also at the booth.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/13.JPG
Here some shots of the event itself, made by my brother in law, still nice and empty :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/14.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/15.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/16.JPG
Everyone getting instructions :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/17.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/18.JPG
Doors are open and first people get in.
ASUS booth still pretty quiet.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/19.JPG
Our little corner :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/20.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/21.JPG
Fun to see from that close.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/22.JPG
Honored this could also be at the booth.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/23.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/24.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/25.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/26.JPG
And some shots of the built-in desk now that it's still quiet.

http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/28.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/29.JPG
First thing they run off to .. Black Ops II stand ... yup .. 100% gamer event :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/30.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/31.JPG
Really enjoyed the OC sessions!
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/32.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/33.JPG
Cards were gone within half an hour :/
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/34.JPG
For who wants to see more boothbabes .. check here :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/35.JPG
Ok .. here it was too crowded for me :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/36.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/37.JPG
Highres picture of all the interest for the desk.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/38.JPG
Playing with Nitrogen :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/39.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/40.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/41.JPG
Here a small video of the desk 5 minutes before closing time.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...rstlookvid.jpg
The result .... I hate fingerprints :P
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/42.JPG
Astonished how the got the stand 'hardware-less' within 10 minutes.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/43.JPG
And back home.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ook/550/44.JPG
ASUS Benelux, a huge thanks for this opportunity, it really was a great experience!
For now a small break, need to save up some money and and saw in some stuff in the desk :)
Cross back to her room :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ross/550/1.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ross/550/2.JPG
That went much faster somehow :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ross/550/3.JPG
A few orders with my last available money :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ross/550/4.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ross/550/5.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ross/550/6.JPG
So assembled it right away.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ross/550/7.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ross/550/8.JPG
I like the new block a lot ... except the pci plate sticks out a bit.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ross/550/9.JPG
So tried to bend it without a folding machine.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/10.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/11.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/12.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/13.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/14.JPG
I'm satisfied with the result.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/15.JPG
Draining the right loop ... by blowing on it :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/16.JPG
Swap the blocks.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/17.JPG
Tight fit!
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/18.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/19.JPG
Got a (spam) mail with an offer to order posters in 100x75cm format for €4,90 each ... So thought I could try it for that amount of money.
I really think they succeeded! Nice to fill up the empty walls :)
For who's interested in these big format photos..
-> http://www.l3p.nl/files/Poster/ <-
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/20.JPG
And testing the loop again.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/21.JPG
Small photo shoot :)

http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/33.JPG
And playing around with the effects of RGB.
This has to be the weirdest color ... red completely disappears.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/34.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/35.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/36.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/37.JPG
Getting both systems running again.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/38.JPG
Idle usage .... oops.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/39.JPG
That evening Shawn came with the cool idea to use the RGB leds, meant for the legs, in the lamps next to the desk.
First thing I did in the morning .. but the effect wasn't really visible cause of the sunlight.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/40.JPG
But at night ... wow :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/41.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/42.JPG
Personally I like clear white ...
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/43.JPG
....and blue/purple most.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...oss/550/44.JPG
Here a video of the RGB effect .. and testing the speakers :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/..._rgb_night.jpg
Till the next update!
Played around with some acrylic remnants this weekend.
Not going to order large amounts of acrylic for these prototype legs/build (hint :P )
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/12-Temps/550/1.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/12-Temps/550/2.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/12-Temps/550/3.JPG
Once you're busy I got the tendency to keep improving it.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/12-Temps/550/4.JPG
Really love this cutter.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/12-Temps/550/5.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/12-Temps/550/6.JPG
Would love to do the small ring too.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/12-Temps/550/7.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/12-Temps/550/8.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/12-Temps/550/9.JPG
I had 3 small pieces of black mat, transparent and glossy acrylic, think the glossy looks best.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/12-Temps/550/10.JPG
Testing it on the 'UV bench' :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/12-Temps/550/11.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/12-Temps/550/12.JPG
Drilling the holes.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/12-Temps/550/13.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/12-Temps/550/14.JPG
Maybe I will add a ledstrip in the future. (would need to saw in the legs)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/12-Temps/550/15.JPG
Next leg .. next weekend :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/12-Temps/550/16.JPG
Didn't have much time to play with the hardware yet.
However, on request, here some temperatures of the CPU/GPU with a bench of the SSD's on the left system.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/12-Temps/550/17.JPG
And some temperatures of the CPU/GPU with a bench of the SSD's on the right system.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/12-Temps/550/18.JPG
This TablePC is so crazy. Awesome work
i want to make this kind of build but i have no spare time, i can't even do cable management....
nice work mate!
I think this is what I need.
It has been over 2 months, time for a small update. :)
Needed some time to finish some things up and save up money for the screens and stand.
In the mean time also finished up a small passive cooled Htpc mod 'L3p AlCu'
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3p...550xl3p%5D.JPG
And busy on a watercooled Acrylic build 'L3p - Parvum'
http://www.l3p.nl/wp-content/uploads...l3p_parvum.jpg
Also gathered a small collection of 'Desk Pc' builds I walked into the last few years.
Desk pc build collection.
(Send me a pm if you want yours added :) )
So here the photos from the last 2 months.
First bought a second hand floorstanding monitor mount.
Decided to buy this since I like to work with the desk and hardware inside and adding another 25Kg to the existing 80Kg ..
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...itor/550/1.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...itor/550/2.JPG
Dell 17" mounted for the looks .. bit small :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...itor/550/3.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...itor/550/4.JPG
Tested some other stuff in the meantime with the desk and some hardware.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...itor/550/5.JPG
And the first one out of 3.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...itor/550/6.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...itor/550/7.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...itor/550/8.JPG
Was in love with the design since day one.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...itor/550/9.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/10.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/11.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/12.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/13.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/14.JPG
Few weeks later also got the second one.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/15.JPG
Still need to find a solution for the 'missing' Vesa mount.
(Sometimes you have to sacrifice for design)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/16.JPG
Warranty voided .. but the leg is off :P
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/17.JPG
The original Vesa mount from the RS Stand won't work on the 1.5mm plastic.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/18.JPG
So thinking of something else.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/19.JPG
Will be be the fixation from the original foot.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/20.JPG
Gladly have some 15x15mm aluminum bar left.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/21.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/22.JPG
Also glad Asus and RS work with metric :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/23.JPG
So some drilling and tapping.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/24.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/26.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/25.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/27.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/28.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/29.JPG
And assembled.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/30.JPG
First one hanging like a rock!
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/31.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/32.JPG
2 outside monitors will need a small different way but should be no problem.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/34.JPG
Waiting for the third monitor :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...tor/550/33.JPG
Small update again.
First the gaming package for this build from SteelSeries.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ries/550/1.JPG
And made the two other monitor supports.
The photos will explain it all :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/14-Adjust/550/1.JPG

http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ust/550/11.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ust/550/12.JPG
At this moment I'm fully investigating a problem I had with the memory since the start.
The mainboard doesn't recognise the memory from slots B1 and B2. (More info here)
Seems I got scammed with a second hand cpu :(
No idea what to do yet...
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ust/550/13.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ust/550/14.JPG
Hopefully soon the third monitor :)
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/...ust/550/15.JPG
There has been quite a change in GPU's here.
Had the abillity to trade the 7970 for a GTX690.
This card was perfect for the Parvum build.
So decided to trade the second 7970 for a GTX690 too.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/15-Almost/550/1.JPG
Will also polish both blocks and bridge like in the Parvum build as soon as they are here.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/15-Almost/550/2.JPG
So played around already with them this week.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/15-Almost/550/3.JPG
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/15-Almost/550/4.JPG
Under full stress.
http://redharbinger.com/photo/Cross/15-Almost/550/5.JPG
After buying 2 239H's myself I got a third ASUS 239H from Asus Benelux for helping them on the Firstlook event.
Thanks for everything Rogier and Sven!

First a shot of the inside. There's just one power cable coming out of the desk to feed the 2 pc's, speakerset and 3 lcd's. This next to the 'standard' cables and watercooling :)

Some words from Thomas Nunn - CEO Red Harbinger:
"Well, it has been a challenge, and we appreciate the extreme levels of patience as seen within our fan-base.
We had no idea of all the complex logistical issues that would arise when manufacturing and distributing the large Cross desk around the world.
After several design iterations and manufacturing tweaks, we finally got the process down and have a viable means to store and ship out the desks to both North America and the EU.
Cross is meant to be our high-end flagship product, but while we were ironing out the key details, we designed several other products as well; we won't tease those photos until they are in production!
Our North American retailer is awaiting their Cross desk sample to arrive so that we may conduct final quality inspections on the finished product.
Once we review, you can expect the button to be pushed for final production and delivery to our North American and EU distributors.
As a status update, the desk is finished, with packaging development in the process as we speak.
Make sure to visit our facebook page or later our website to keep updated on future products and contests."
Thomas, Scott, Shawn, Chuck, Youri, Daniel, David .. you guys are awesome! :)
Next to the sponsors I also want to thank all other people that helped Red Harbinger or me personally on this project!
And off course ... you guys :)
