Update : Moved the desk into my room, Installed everything into it. I also ordered a gtx680. I thought about a 780 but i got a this card for a really good deal from a friend.
 
Here are a few shots of the desk in my room. Sorry for the quality, bad lighting... No water yet, soon. very soon.
(its so fuzzy )







 
On order :
 
Black SATA connectors
Another SSD
More sleeving
GTX680 Lighting with Aquacomputer waterblock.
Possibly new fans for the rad and the rest of the desk. Noctua maybe?
*possibly* New power supply. (black to match with the rest of the components)
 
Also any idea;s on the sleeving? I have just black for now.. any colors i should add? Or should i just have a mainly black and copper themed rig?
Input appreciated. 
 
-Thanks

So after seeing PBaines desk. I got an idea for mine. 
The theme is white and black and stained wood (of course)
All the parts i'm using aren't new there from my previous build (r4) Eventually i'd like to get new components since they are a bit out dated all ready and not as fast as id like. 
The parts list :
 
i5 3570k *Will update to 3930k or some CPU of that level.
Gigabyte UD3H *ASUS rampage Black?
16gb of Corsair Dominator RAM
MSI GTX680 Lightning
120Gb Kingston SSD
*soon to add another 240gb SSD
1*1 TB HDD's ( some brand mind fails me)
And old thermaltake PSU (This will be updated VERY soon...)
 
Water cooling :
(this is just for now)
*Gpu block Aquacomputer.
EK CPU block
Alphacool xt45 3x140 rad
liang DDC pump with phobya top matte black finish
Phobya 250ml res matte black
Primochill rigid tube fittings
White Primochill hard tube. 
 
Now then
Want some pictures?
Here ya go :
 
***Updates***
CURRENT STATE :
 
Loop is done!! (and no im not leaving the GPU cables like that. Im waiting on sleeving.)
I'm also going to add another SSD and a new fan controller since i got some water on mine and didnt see it.... Silly me.

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
Loop planing

 
Some sketchup pics :


 
Starting to build :





 
Positioning rad grills :


 
Stained some wood :


 
Some of the copper with the wood. This will be pollished : *replaced with acrylic tube.

 
The water block (ill be changing it eventually) :

 
Pump and the res along with some tubing :

(trying to take cool pics with my sheety cam)

 
another failure :

 
kinda a over head view (just imagine polished copper with a different motherboard etc

 
This is what the copper will look like :

Yeah, my shop is a mess... too many project's going on at once... sigh... need more time!!
Thats all for now. Ill be updating more soon. And it will be assembeled and filled once i can afford fittings and some other things.
Untell next time..

For any one who wants more pictures :
 
Built the drawer unit :

 
started staining


 
Stained drawers :

 
Things got a bit dusty....

 
That's all for now.
Losing my job cant afford to have many more updates.
Have a good weekend.

*Update*
 
So today i build some legs, stained them, attached them. Then i started on a wood top for the part of the desk.
 
Here's the pictures i got from today :
 
The stain im using :

 
The wood top. This will pe plained down to aprox 3/8" then put on a hinge or some sort of removable system so i can get to the rads. I also need to get another pipe so i can compress it and glue it together. :

 
The legs unstained :

 
AND! Stained! :

 
A glam shot :

 
And then the legs attatched! :


 
Next update will be the drawer unit, Fitting the water cooling, Installed the components, And hopfully i can afford the glass after all that...
 
Untell Next time!

That's what i decided on. =)

True true.. but i think ima stick with copper. I like the look of it with the wood.

Good idea...  :huh:
 
Thanks for the input!! the will help with finishing my build.

All right cool! thanks!

Small teaser. I recieved the paint today and instantly went to work. I can not show any pictures yet, but will do this tomorrow. I have to do a 2nd layer to make it completely covered. Just have to say myself. OMG, I am very happy with the 2 colors that I got now. It matches the Noctua colors very well! 
 
Edit: just had a box delivered to my place. What could it be? ^^ 
Once the paint is back dry I will put it back in place and then show the pictures. 
 
Here is the paint to begin with:
Montana Gold G1410 Latte & Montana Gold G8110 Rusto Coat
 

First up are the SSD brakets. They are made of bent metal bar that is and inch wide or 25mm ish for you metric people. i bent the bar to angle that i thought would let me see the ssd from looking down frome the top of the desk and looking at it from the front.


and this is what it will look like once the ssd is mounted

This is the finished product the only thing left to do is to mount it to the desk and for that i need to go buy so nutserts.



I have already mounted the hard drives and i was test fitting them to see how big i need to make the hole to hide the cables so i decided to take a couple pictures.

Cant wait bud.
Have you looked at my build?

Darn! Well i would hope you will make it in! Its too damn awesome not to.

Looks awesome! I like the carbon wrapped case. Looks very slick!

I can't wait to put it on....I'm sure it will be on soon. But I'm going to "try" and use the card for a bit....but we'll see how long that lasts lol
 
Dammit BF4 only 15% complete....the download is smaller then I thought tho....only 23GB
