Project : L3p D3sk

did you find any rats, underground, whyle changing the mora fans? :D

Nah it's a new house, so no rats here :)
All i saw were two 5cm tall spiders ^^

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 :)

10 minutes before unplugging it

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


And 3 hours later :)

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


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

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

Wanted to use these for my quick connectors outside the desk

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

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

Maybe till tomorrow :P

Yesterday the idea came up for hiding my cables from the 3 screens.

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

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.

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


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

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


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

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


Sanding it some.

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


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


Like a bomb exploded.

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


Here i was finished for today :)

And the extra fillports for future usage ^^

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

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

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


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

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


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

I like your method of hiding the monitor cables. It looks sleek.

Quite a busy day.

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


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

Also an other package i ordered at Highflow

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

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

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

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

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


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.

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

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

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


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.

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

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

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

After that everything goes to the oven.

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


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

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


Back home i had to unpack the BP box :)

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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.

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

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


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.

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

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

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.

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

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 !

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

nice update ;)

Dude, this is one of the best projects I have ever saw. Very professional build with lots of effort and skills. Even the idea is a simple, the result is outstanding.

In my opinion this mod shouldn't be announced as mod of the month, but the mod of the year.

I cant wait to see the painted parts assembled and build finished :)
