Project : L3p D3sk

[l3p]

Bought something second hand.
Saw it and just had to have it





But still no clue what to do with it :P

[Church]

I'd say - try to put in steampunkish box from wood/brass/rivets/metal tubes and gears, and rewire so that they show more important stuff, like flow/liquid temps/fanspeed % instead of default audiolevels/temps/power IIRC.

I'm adoring analog gauges. They will not fit well with your generic futuristic desk theme though

Jaw Dropping

[l3p]

And again thanks to Highflow.nl for the nice stuff !


Some molex cables, you'll need them with a 1.50m long pc :P




Will be used for a later update



Time for a refreshment after 2 years of usage in 2 builds




And the thing missing in this build ... a mouse with acid green leds












Thanks again Freddy !!

[l3p]

Received the last 4 fans today (Thanks Kier ! )

Will try to replace the old Gentle typhoons tomorrow.
I will have to lift the complete desk out of its holder to replace the right fans.

I'm totally in love with the green color the nanoxia fans get with UV light.

[l3p]

Again 4 hours of non-stop work


How i replaced the old Feser coolant.



And put the cards back to slot 1 and 2 so i can better access my raidcard.




And already replaced 3 of the 6 fans.







Better pics next week :P

[l3p]

Asked Cooler Master NL if they could help me out with a little test project cause of a voltage problem with the raidcard.

They did, and within 4 days i got this package trough my mailbox




Maybe im going to use 2 x 700W instead of 1x1200W







Lets unpack.







Nice and small, 4cm shorter then an AX1200.










Plenty of cables




So want to thank Cooler Master Netherlands for the nice stuff !!

[l3p]

Been playing with a lot of stuff this weekend


First a little movie of the Coolant refresh





And the testing with the 2 (3) PSU's
Total of 2600W running now.
And off course my 3.3V 5V and 12V are superb now
Very silent psu's by the way !




Even under full stress
980x @ 4.5 Ghz + 2 x GTX580 @ 960/1150



And creativity with Bitspower on a Sunday afternoon
It was to see the effect of flowing Acid green right under UV leds in the desk.
(For further plans )




And made a small movie of it.

[skier]

good lord man that looks amazing!!!

I'm not subscribing to this- I'm bookmarking it and emailing myself the url then favoriting the email!

[fatherTime27]

nice

[l3p]

3 screens ARE useful :P

[Xanth]

Damn dude. You don't mess around.

[antiacid]

I'm impressed!

[l3p]

Thanks !

And Thanks Freddy !




After the mouse i was looking for a fitting mousepad for the desk.
Personally i like cloth pads like the Q-pad.
Couldn't find anything at all.
All i could find was a pad with leds in it.
But then the idea popped up ..
Still had some plexi somewhere, and there are 150 UV smd leds in my desk so why not try it :P


The plex.
(Fits perfectly !)




The "hard" SLI connector. (Thanks Xtrafresh!)




And my RVS cupholder







With a jigsaw.



Maybe im going to let the print melt down into the plexi with its pins




The Q-Plex







And the ...ehm ..cupholder



Still goin to polish them some more later.

[eskamobob1]

AMAZING!!! it looks amazing. i have no idea how you make everything look so amazing, but it totally is ... JC... do u have a list of the currently installed hardware? it would just be cool to know everything that is running in there (minus the wc loop and other cooling )

[l3p]

I could sell my Intel X18-M for a good price, so wanted to try the Intel 510.
Going to use it as OS drive










And because i promised Asus to show their logo, here you go

[l3p]

Some info about the upcoming updates.

- Application for powder-coating is in progress !

- Maybe one of my sponsors will send some extra nice stuff :P

- And a small teaser :P

[Guitarman0]

Just have to say mate, I love the project so far. Keep up the great work

[bjuderas]

Well, this is the best modding I have ever seen. I'm impressed. Keep up the fantastic work. I'm a fan!
What about some 3DMarks?
And temps while doing the tests.

[l3p]

Thanks man !

Well haven't got the time yet to be busy with fine tuning, but off course did some benchmarks.

Cpu temps @ 4.5 Ghz idle around 25 degrees
Cpu temps @ 4.5 Ghz stressed around 60 degrees

Gpu temps @ 950/1100 idle around 22 degrees
Gpu temps @ 950/1100 stressed around 38 degrees

[bjuderas]

Nice scores an temps! Any future upgrades in mind?

[l3p]

Powdercoating the desk comes first now

[Guitarman0]

Powdercoating the desk comes first now

mmmmm it will look sick

[l3p]

I hope it does

[l3p]

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




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
