PROJECT LOG DDCM Desk Project: Unique. Simple. Powerful

[Dalchi Frusche]

I'm impressed by the speed with which you returned to the build, after a cross country move. I would still be in the "Honey? What box is my xxx in?" phase. LOL Actually making build progress at this stage is commendable.

Haha it was called making an inventory of all my boxes from the workshop. One toughbox for all the watercooling, one box for my tools, etc.

Good morning DDCM fans and followers!

How about another DDCM desk PC update?

We can start off with a glamour shot of the leak testing we did.



One of the first things we did while waiting for all the paint to dry was to finish making our custom sleeved extensions.






Once the paint dried we immediately set to installing our components and figuring out our cable paths.





Then we prepped and installed our painted NexXxos 360 radiators which followed with fans, tubes and everything else. Once it was all connected we started our leak testing.





Until next time, Happy Modding!

How about another DDCM desk PC update?

First we will start with the winner of my contest. I wanted people on social media to design a dragon and flames to paint on the top of the desk before I seal it up. Here’s the winner. I loved the shape of the dragon head. The flames will need a little cleaning.



Ok, back to the desk. We took this picture while it was night time and during the leak test.



The next morning we went to paint the top of the desk…. And ended up spending a few hours cleaning the carpet instead DOH!




Several hours later I recruited my daughters help and we drained the desk of all the distilled water and filled it with the Mayhems Red Aurora liquid.




After the paint dried on the desk top, I attached it in place and took this teaser picture for social media.



After all the cable management was done and I verified it was working great, I took this semi finished picture. All that’s left is to install the windows and to get the vinyl lettering in place. And YES, I know it’s a small old monitor for this massive project. haha.




I hope everyone has enjoyed this so far and I will update with final pictures on a real camera once I get to the last couple things done. And hopefully by then I’ll have a better monitor too.
Until next time, Happy Modding!

It's been epic. Travel, retro, sentimental, paint, carpentry, this build had it all. And still finished strong.

I'm one of those not so popular modders..... not everyone knows "Dalchi Frusche" Everywhere else I'm known as "DDCustomMods" or "Double Dragon Custom Mods" Many miss out on the journey.... but happy you're here to help witness the end.

You are too kind haha... you sounded a bit like a minstrel there announcing a knight before he competes haha

We covered my carpentry skills on Page 1. Trust me, I just sit here with my pie hole hanging open on stuff like this. And you really did have a heckuva back story going on. Congrats on the move and the build. And for those who missed this, the explanation for my fascination with other people's wood. (NO!NO!NO! Not that, for God's sake!)

Me: "Nail!" WHAM
Anyone: "The nail has to go in the board"
Me:"OK" WHAM
Anyone: "No, in the spot where the two pieces of wood need to be joined"
Me:"OK" WHAM
Anyone: "You'll need more than one nail to-"
Me: WHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAM
Anyone: "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING???"
Me:"Nail. More than one" WHAM
Anyone: "OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! Give me that damn hammer!"

So we needed a shot of the desk to put on our new business cards, so….. I figured I wanted to share with you. We are also in talks to do a hardware upgrade if the vendor approves it.





Of course, none of this would’ve been possible without the amazing sponsors!




The business cards came out pretty snazzy too!




Until next time, Happy Modding!

It's been a few years, but I'm pretty sure the phrase "Until xxx" wasn't part of mine, either.
