L3p

Feeling a bit weird about this  :unsure:
 

 

 
 
Even the loop from L3p D3sk looks the same combined with Raz3r D3sk
 

I want to thank every one for the awesome support!
What a great day! Oh man!

Lets kick off with the first big update


Unpacking .. Awesome!


The P5's


480 Rads


Plenty of pump power.



Reservoirs


Lots of fans.


Cpu and Strix blocks


Not sure yet if and how much I will use it, but a bending kit


It will be a mixture of PETG and nickelplated brass


All unpacked





So shiny!


The gaming gear! Off course needed to complete a desk.


First steps, mounting the fans.


And sleeving the pumps.


Just trying to imagine myself how it would look.



Sawing mounting rails for the desk


Will be using regular shelve holders to mount the desk to the wall


The idea


More next time

I agree.  White is very becoming of that setup.

Finally the last fittings also arrived.
 

 

So I could finish the last part of the loop.
 

 

 

 

And testing if everything still works .. 
 

 

Time to fill it up
 

 

Always exciting
 

 

Not a single leak
 

 

Next thing is also very exciting ... is the hardware still working?
 

 

Awesome when you see on first boot "CPU Fan speed error detected"
That's good
 

 

And so the glass panel goes up
 

 

Chair also fits perfectly
One last small update and then ... final pics!
 

 

By 8 pieces of slip free rubber on the poles

Small extra before the final post.
Found some plexi from a previous project which will come to good use
 

 

Sawing, sanding and polishing.
 

 

And done
 

I want to thank everyone for following this project!
For me personally it was quite a challenge.
First of all because of the available free time I had next to my job and family.
But specially to create a 'Desk PC' below $400 of material. (2xP5 + tools + glass + mounting)
All this with standard tools like a jigsaw, drill, ironsaw, file and sandpaper.
 
So here's my contribution to the Thermaltake CaseMOD Invitational 2016 Season 1


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally I had 20 minutes to enjoy DOOM
 

 

 

 

I tested all possible color combinations, my personal choice was Blue/Red, however I think many will like white too.
 

 

 

 

 

 
ps. Should I make a little video too?

Good to find you here also  !! Absolutely beautiful Peter! and....YES PLEASE a video !!!

And another update!
 
Almost used all the fittings.
 

 

But glad some extra are on the way.
 

 

So first some more cable management.
 

 

So also the Displayport, keyboard and mouse cable.
 

 

 

Done!
 

 

Checking if everything still works.
 

 

 

Also received a flowmeter to check out.
 

 

Funny mirroring seen from bottom.
 

 

I guess white isn't too bad either.

Time to mount the blocks!
 

 

I always love these
 

 

2 hours later.
 

 

 

I'm working with several controllers for fans and lighting and want to have them in groups.
Fans - Top lighting - Bottom lighting
Need multiple cables and extensions from side to side through the 'powerbar'
 

 

Like this
 

 

 

Also want some cable managements, all extra cable out of sight in the P5
 

 

 

Done!
 

Never thought about using the P5 chassis as a desk! Awesome work Peter!

The loop. Finally!
First some pads underneath the GPU's
 

 

And the first fittings and pipe
 

 

 

Works like a charm
 

 

 

 

Should become something like this.
 

 

But still lots to do.
 

 

 

So many pretty things I will never be able to afford.  Mod looks good though, I love the floating look.

More drilling, cutting, filing and sanding.
 

 

Came up with an little idea to bring 12V for fans, pump and lighting to the right side of the desk. 
 

 

Picked up the laminated glas panel for the Tt d3sk.
 

 

Also picked up something awesome to complete this desk setup
 

 

Back to the 'powerbar'
 

 

2 molex lines directly from PSU to the right side.
 

 

Some wire management inside the P5
 

 

Test
 

 

 

Shortening the massive steel poles which will hold the glass panel.
 

 

I just found out where my safety glasses were
 

 

Few to go.
 

 

Going to test the hardware without liquidcooling. Very excited!
 

 

 

I never thought about the ROG logo from the Asus PG348 ... normally it shines ON your desk ... 
I like the effect
 

More drilling, cutting, filing and sanding.

I planned the whole weekend for measuring, cutting, drilling, filing, sanding etc
 

 

 

 

 

Ahh yes .. what I've been waiting for!
 


One arm should be able to hold 63kg, I'm using 4 of them.
 


Not much left of the internals.
 


Bottom shot.
 

 

So lets cut! (tried the dremel once again .. screw that)
 

 

 

 

 

Cover plate for right side of the desk where normally the mainboard goes
 

 

 

 

More filing needed
 

 

And holes
 

 

Also countersinking the PSU
 

 

 

 

 

Sorry, I don't like stickers
 

 

Rads also more inside
 

 

More holes, drilling and sanding.
 

 

Just had to test the fans
 

 

Today the hardware and modcave
 


Best looking mainboard ever.
 


The power.
 


Avexir memory
 


Lovely ssd.
 


GPU power.
 


More power
 


Some shots together.
 





Cleaned up the modcave where it's all going to happen.
 

And here's the final shoot
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another awesome experience in France together with the LDLC crew and my co-modders!
And ... I'm very honored to reach second place in the contest
 

 

 
Thanks for following!

Holy Damn Shit!!!! This is possibly the best iv'e seen in a very long time! love the accents with the tubing integrated into the case!
