Project : L3p D3sk

[bjuderas]

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

[l3p]

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





Small surprise between the UV leds




And some pictures with the effect

Watercool that overheating led board

[l3p]

The date for powder-coating the desk has set !
Next week Tuesday ill bring it over there :P


10 minutes before unplugging it




And 3 hours later




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



Wanted to use these for my quick connectors outside the desk





Maybe till tomorrow :P

[l3p]

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



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.




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




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




Sanding it some.







Like a bomb exploded.




Here i was finished for today

[eskamobob1]

Like a bomb exploded.

[danoninho]

I wish that bomb in my house to.

Excelent project. Let's see how it get more cool with powder coat.

Like a bomb exploded.

Yeah, poor L3p with his dingy looking high tech aluminum utility sink. Whatever will we do to console him. LOL

EDIT: Powder coating... i typed too fast

[l3p]

[kikicoco1334]

nice project you got there!

[l3p]

Thanks

[l3p]

Made the last fillport hole for future usage




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




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

[Alexandr0s]

Watercool that overheating led board

That was exactly what I was thinking when I read that !

[Frag Maniac]

The ultimate Zamboni

[Guitarman0]

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

[l3p]

Quite a busy day.

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




Also an other package i ordered at Highflow



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



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




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.



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




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.







After that everything goes to the oven.




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




Back home i had to unpack the BP box



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






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



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






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






Same here.







And some extra and new kind of fittings, ill need them for future updates :P







Vincent and Bitspower ... really you guys RULE :P

[Perica_Barii]

Just read the whole post , great project. Looking forward for more update , and pics of course.

[l3p]

Thanks man !

[l3p]

Got a real nice present from Bigfoot Networks !
A Bigfoot Networks™ Killer™ 2100 Gaming Network Card
Thanks Timo and thanks for the help Xtrafris !)

Off course i want to try that out, im really in for some on line gaming after such a year



Casemodder Xtrafris also sent me a K`Bling
Wanted to use this to mod it on the Killer™ but seems i don't have enough space.






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.





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.



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 !

[nigelke]

nice update

[Dk_vr]

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
