L3p D3sk - Silent Work & Gaming Station

L3p D3sk - Hardware Update - 26-2-2011


Here some pictures of the conversion.


Even on air they are lovely.

But i love WC blocks :P

You can easily spend a hole evening on 2 cards.

And thats 1

And thats 2 :)

Had a small break, had to wait for a replacement part for the EK rex3 block (broke while shipping)

And i've been to Cebit to personally thank one of my sponsors :)

Replacement part came in the next morning :)

Quite an impressive block, it has 4 O-rings in it

And now the adjustments for the bigger mainboard and the extra needed cables for the gpu's

Had to do everything by hand cause i didnt want to clear the hole desk

Also the mainboard tray needed some work.

Discs specially aluminum.

And done.

Now i can start fitting in the Bitspower parts

Every SLI connector has to fit exactly.

One of the many times fitting it in the desk.

Only one connector to go.

Got the tip to polish the silvercoil :)

Hmm..

But it's shiny again :)

Cable for the extra molex on the Rex3.

After one hour i finally found a way to get all the cables under the mainboardtray

And some teasers for later this week :)

When looking for the newest bios for the rex3, i also found a driver for symbian phones.
I had no idea this was so easy :)

Cleared some 230V cables for the tft's today.
Made a 3-way disconnect-able cable ^^

3 AMP connectors.

And done

Still need to fix the resolutions so the conversion looks better

I almost enjoy the view like in real life :P

And again thanks to Freddy 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 :)

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 fans get with UV light.

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

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 !!

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

3 screens ARE useful :P

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.

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 :)

I can't even fathom the amount of money that went into this build. Good job putting it together.

Thanks man !

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 :D

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
