L3p D3sk - Silent Work & Gaming Station

Hi there:)

I'm quite new to this forum, but since they liked my build at some Dutch hardware sites, i wanted to post it here too.

My other build came to an end and didn't know what to improve, but my old desk almost fell apart.

Really want to thank Pascal for his pc-in-a-desk idea. After seeing it I couldn't even sleep that night :)

I started sketching it with Google Sketchup
After 9 hours of non-stop drawing it finally had some shape.

I'm also gonna use my old cooling again since it works superb.
It's a 1080 radiator under my floor from my house, right in the corner where my pc is.
My water temperature in wintertime is around 18 degrees, in the summer it's around 23 degrees.

Here some Youtube movies:

Here are the final pictures i made for some Casemod contest.
Still got some small mods (One really cool one) to do in the future so it isnt completely finished yet.

After these pictures i'll fill up this thread with the complete buildlog

All these pictures are clickable to the original 3600x2900 resolution pictures

Have fun !

Since im already busy with this project for 8 months now, here are all the pics in one post.

Started with an Aluminium plate of 1850x990x3

Plates for the mainboard tray, hdd tray, pump/res tray and cable plate

The bearer ring to hold my desk

Been to an other company to make a logo

And back to welding :)

Plasmacutter to make some cable holes

End of the first long day :)

Creating a logo (was just a try, worked out well)

Made some holes for the lcd's for the in and outgoing water temperature, and for the logo

Had to make some changes to let my knees fit :)

Fitting the trays with sound isolation under it.

I love packages !

Thought the buttons would the same, gonna change for 2 big one's now.

Sound isolating for under my trays.

My best friend welding

"Rough" work is done

So brought the d3sk back home

Gonna use the backplate of an old lianli. (Thanks brother in law !)

Fitting, measuring and hanging

The battlefield.

Just playing around ;)

New toy arrived

Fitting and measuring, pff

Forgot a hole

So made it bigger

Mess outside

Made 2 extra 120mm fan holes in the cable-space, cause i decided my psu will come there too.
And made the hole for the lianli backplate.

Bitspower !

And building everything back for the hole picture

Shopping time

Measuring the last holes.

And more measuring

Muscle pain !

Rear = ready

And the front !

Hiding cables, what a nasty job.

Scythe fanguards, maybe temporary

Need sata ? :)

Hiding Sata(n) ! ;)

And lift of

Testrun 1

Temperatures are better then in my Corsair 800D ;)

Now first some rest behind my d3sk, before it goes to the powdercoater :)

Found a nice connector for the Bulgin power and reset button to be disconnected easily.

Now that they will be above my desk, i wont be to lazy to start working again on the inside of the desk :)
