Hey guys, welcome to NovaFlux and I's first dive into the modding community. This idea came to be one day in Algebra class while browsing the forum, his woodworking skills along with my PC building prowess turned into this project.

 

The original plan was to do a completely air cooled build, but now we decided to go all out now and I'm planning on watercooling the entire thing. 

 

Here's the breakdown of the parts I'm planning on using in this build. The CPU is the AMD Phenom ii X4 965, and the GPU is the MSI Radeon HD 7950, both of which I already own.

the plan is to do a 4x2 desk with an ~6-8 inch deep compartment for the PC build.
 
The build is in very early stages right now, there is a lot more to come, so stay tuned. If you have any suggestions leave them below:)

I'm that guy with the GPD Win.
