Made My own Desk !!! - for ~$125!!

[autolex84]

Heres The loop filled, and leak testing

w00t for zero leaks!

ghetto rad mount (for now)

final assembly coming along

almost done

Whole thing, ready for power-up (notice the position of the compu-nurses, I mounted them there, then once power up, realized they were upside down! DOH!)

Next post for more!

 

[autolex84]

All closed up, ready to ... push ... the ... button !!!

right about now, (all powered up) I realize the compunurses are upside down and reverse them

the top one is case temp, the bottom Memory temperature (actually sandwiched between the heatspreader and the memory modules! eek!)

Looking up at it

night time

The Product, at least for this week, LOL

PLEASE! Let me know what you guys think of it! (even if you think it sucks!) feedback is VALUABLE to me! thanks guys!

Everyone is speechless of your 1337 setup.

Great Job ! can I copy some of your ideas ?

 

[Sleepy_Steve]

It definetly looks great! map props and such

Could you somehow cut a better opening in the front of the case to provide better airflow to the rad? Im not sure what your temps are but i tihnk that may help improve things a bit. (at least from what i saw in the pic of the gheto rad mount)

That is very similar to the way I setup my water cooling, but I am using single core rad. and all is hidden in front drive bays, I suspended the pump udside-down from my floppy cage.

Great Job ! can I copy some of your ideas ?

sure, just make sure you post pics man! (imitation is the greatest form of flattery!)

and Yeah I think Im gonna cut the front of the case out a bit so theres a LOT better airflow then what I have now.


Thanks for the encouragement and kind words guys!

Fine work. I've made my own furniture before and, if you make sure to preplan, it can come out very nice!

 

[autolex84]

thank you !

 

[autolex84]

kk, I got an enermax 535 sli power supply today, and I think Im gonna do some kind of mount for my hard drives while im in there, as well as more cutting for better wire management. (the thermaltake purepower 420 was dipping to 11.5V on the 12V rail, as well as the 3.3 dipping low enough to make the OC I had very unstable once I installed the D5!) I'll Post some pics when the install goes down tomorrow night! thanks for viewing guys!
