The F3nix MS1.1 Desk scratch build

[F3nixMods]

Time to mod again and it's time to do something about the not so great looking power cords that come bundled with the power supplies.

 

Two great power supplies deserve two visually striking power cords and that's what I'm aiming for...

 

Some of the materials and tools needed...

 

A few other bits and pieces...

 

First, used some dark gray 8mm Teleios to sleeve the cable.

 

 

 

 

Both connectors in place.

 

 

 

Repeat the procedure and voila!!! Two power cords

 

 

 

Ready to rock with the LEPA G1600 and the be quiet! power zone 850W

 

Mod on!!!

Hi guys!!!

 

Time for a long overdue update, sorry for the delay but been really crazy at work and the work on the desk takes the little free time I'm left with.

 

This update is not about the desk but about the need for a headset holder. As I didn't really like anything that it's currently available what's the only thing I could do? Correct, my own one!

 

Time to do some CAD work

 

This shows some of designing involved, not all parts are shown on the picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*** Really like this picture***

 

The last few pictures show the assembly of the headset holder. I will not show pictures of a headset on it as that's to follow soon...

Hello again

 

Be quiet! was again extremely kind and sent me a couple of their noise absorbing kits. This stuff is so amazing that I've done a brief overview of the product. Shown on the last 3 pictures 

 

 

 

Very thick but very easy to cut to size with a stanley knife

Hope you enjoy it, will be back soon with more updates

 

Mod on!!!

Where did you buy these and the cables really like those

[F3nixMods]

Hi there guys, been a while since my last update but I'm back with quite a bit this time. Hope you enjoy it...

 

Cabling will definitely be a pain in this case an pretty much all cables will have to be made of a specific length, to assist with the cable/hose management I have decided to create some custom cable and water cooling hose clips.

 

Here you can see some of them just before having the bottom edge sanded

 

Before and after...

 

The hose clips ready to be drilled so that I can fit the threaded inserts

 

...and with the inserts in place.

 

 

 

 

 

All nice and cosy already in the desk and with same of the cables in place

 

Have decided to go with the Bitfenix spectre pro fans due to the ease of turning the leds on/off. However, not before giving it a bit of a F3nix twist

 

 

With the nice Silverstone fan dust filters in place. Many thanks to Silverstone once more, they are really of a great quality and near enough invisible when in place!!!

 

 

Can see some of them in place here...

 

Worked on the back oak panels and the result was this

 

 

 

 

On one of my previous post I've shown you the F3nix headset holder, some of you asked to see a picture of it with the headset in place and here it is, hope you like it

 

 

 

 

I've also started assembly of the internal and external panels and the below pictures illustrate pretty much where I am with the build at the moment...

Hope you like the update and will be back soon with some more.

 

Mod on!!!
