Eek, l3p, you've got strong competition (phinix nanotower) this time and also from XS :(
It was simpler choice with aquatuning's LC case contest. Pitty there are no multiple choice votes.

Indeed strong competition.
Let's just hope the best :)

I put my vote in for u. Best of luck man.

Pics appear dead.

Small update :P

Had a Q-pad CT for 4 years and was still very happy with it.
But i just needed a smaller one so ordered a Q-pad UC small.
But somehow it doesn't registrate my mx510 and mionix anymore that good.
Contacted Mionix and they wanted to send me a mousepad for on the plexi plate !

Thanks Peter & Richard !

Going to cut it this way i guess.

And almost done !
Still need to make the edges a little more rounded.

Ordered something at work, they use it for small 9-30V motors on ships etc.
Im very curious about it how it will work.
I want to use it for the 2 D5 pumps later.

http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/Des...%5B550x%5D.JPG


This way i can use 2 Bulgin momentary switches to set the speed from 10% till 100%
Also when it's powered off and on, it will remember the last speed setting.

not able to see any pics :/

Something is going on between Holland and the US. Some of us here can't see any of the pics. Too bad...sounds like a great build.
:shrug:

even us (Indian's) can't see any pics! :(

Gratz on being featured on engadget! This really is an amazing build.

All pics now working.
Great job!
:up:

My own site L3p.nl is up again !


AJ from Atsiekratsie.nl Thanks for all the help with migrating it, also for borrowing the Canon 400D :)

Thanks a lot guys !!!!!

:O...
Amazing work..

congratulations...

Thanks man !

For the ones who liked them..

I re-uploaded the pictures from the photo shoot and made them click able to original 3600x2900 resolution on a fast host.

Probably next week I'll be testing the pump-controller.

this thread i have been reading for 2 days now and im sure i will read it again tomorrow, so much work has gone into this.

my minds going a million miles an hour, im seriously contemplating building a desk now i have seen yours.

i made a full acrylic custom case about 8 months ago and also made my first full water cooling loop to go with it. still like my case, but how much better would it be when your comp is in your desk, takes up no table or floor space and looks amazing when done right. I dont like the idea of conventional cases no more. custom cases is where its at. they keep your mind thinking, though they keep your hand in your wallet too ;)

youve done an amazing job on this. you deserve all the praise you get! well done :up:

out of curiosity, how long has this build taken you from start to finish?

also your work seems to have a lot of good little nick nacks by the look of it. nothing better than when work can supply some stuff for your build! i work with plastic and cnc machines, hence the custom acrylic case i built.

Thanks a lot man.
I had exactly the same when i finally decided to start this project 8-9 months ago.
And yes, a lot of people think im rich, but im certainly not, starting a project like this will really empty your wallet :)
I can't wait to see any results of you !

simply amazing, i would love to have one of these tables in my room it would save me so so much space

Thanks !

I just can't stop, so some pictures again :)

Ordered some extra black bolts for fixing fans to the rad.
Also for future usage off course.

Also got a nice package from Highflow ontvangen.

http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/Des...%5B550x%5D.JPG


2 momentary switches will be for "dimming" the 2 pumps.
The 3rd is to replace the "dot illuminated" switch i use for the reset button.
I do like the ring illuminated more.

http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/Des...%5B550x%5D.JPG


Also wanted to try the Bitfenix sleeved cables.
I'll use these for the pumps too.
Very nice and soft sleeve by the way.

Here a movie with the noise the desk creates while gaming :)

This is such an impressive build. The leve of attention to detail is phenomenal! Congratulations.

sick build dude :D

I just love it :D

Thanks a lot for all the support and votes guys !

I got the Second place in the Cooler Master Compo !
I'm so proud !

Some guys from Spain thought it was a good idea to make 1 post on 3 huge Spanish sites with all my 800 pictures in it :) (150 GB a day)

If anyone wants to see the all the 800+ buildlog photos or the photoshoot, i also uploaded them here until my host goes up again.

Here's a small update about my plans :)

This summer I will continue with a custom reservoir in D3sk.
It'll be located in the middle of my desk, below my keyboard.
I'll do this later because I had just had it with the desk for now :P

I do have been busy with planning the next build.
This time not a scratch build but a casemod, especially to visit lanparty's.

So more on that later in a new buildlog:)

My Site + photos from the build logs http://www.l3p.nl are still not working.
There are still so many requests that 3 servers till now couldn't hold it
Some gentlemen of Tweakers.net are now looking what they can do.
(Thanks Bo, zeef and Kees!)


This week i tested the controller that I would use for the 2 Laing D5 pumps.
On one way or another, it doesn't adjust the speed as I wanted it, with 2 Bulgin momentary switches in 8 increments from 0% to 100%.

Later that evening I tried it with 120mm fans and it worked perfect.
The LED in the Bulgin even dims along with the fan speed. (Although this is difficult to see in the movie)
So I think i will use it with the 8x120mm fans in the desk that are now running at 5V, but then @ 12V with 2 Bulgin switches do arrange 0% -100% in 8 steps.

The two extra buttons will be placed just next to the power, reset button and lights button, so five in a row.

doesn't matter. this is modd of the century. they can be proclaimed for next one, still some left ahead:D

My own site is finally up again, so all the pictures are available in the buildlog again :P
I'm also very proud of being ROTM @ Guru3D.com !

Some small changes i did the last few weeks on the desk.
Made the ROG logo more visible with an "acid green" look.

http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/Des...%5B550x%5D.JPG

Also used EK thermal pads for the HDD's, not for the cooling but for the resonance.
It's even more quiet then in the video now.

This summer further on with the custom reservoir in the middle of the desk.
At this moment im busy with my new build 'L3p L4n' specially for the lans im attending next year.

http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/L3pL4n_550.png

this is one Masterpiece of a Set!
BTW is there a diagram somewhere here on how to trigger 2 PSU's with one mobo - safely :D
TFS your work of Art.

Well, it's been a truly indescribable modding year for me, and I wanted to close out this tremendous honor by thanking the following sponsors, friends and fans.
In case you missed it (pun intended), I somehow managed to scrape by extremely talented competition and pull some awards in the process.
It still makes me so proud, as the competition was refined and full of talent!

Bit-Tech Mod Of The Year and Guru3D Rig Of The Year
Other achievements

As a bonus to the supportive community, I am sharing some unseen photos of the finished project.

After submitting this post, I will be focusing on my current casemod and company, Red Harbinger.
I have met some incredible people along the way with the L3p D3sk.
I know a lot of you were very interested in building or buying the L3p D3sk, and I am happy to announce we will be producing it for sale; the manufacture prototypes are being created as I type this final message.
As a founding member of Red Harbinger Inc., you can expect to see current and future builds (including the L3p D3sk) for actual purchase.
Again, thanks for all your support and feedback; I could not have done it without the strong support of the community!

Wanted to let you guys know 'L3p D3sk' is still alive.
