Project Alternate 4K Build "COMPLETE"

[Deblow]

Awesome project! 

Subbed 

I was thinking for the audio rings would be cool to do the red CF as well!

Also had a thought (found this thread only today) on doing some of your compartments with magnetic pop latches from cabinets as they would give some lift to be able to open doors/lids. Is something I have done in a few projects. 

Other than that looks totally amazing and may be something I end up doing to get my cockpit set up for driving/flight sims on a budget. Its either that or going the obutto route. There is just something to be said though about handcrafted furniture..

 

thanks mate, 

Originally I was going to have the front sides open with the push button latches but after seeing the space I had IRL i changed my mind.

for the top side covers I might still use them, for now im just lifting by hand..

would have gone with motors on them but need to keep the costs down for now, its well over my estimated budget atm lol

Reworked the Sabertooth a bit more, decided after seeing it inside the desk that the silver 

would look better black to match the other parts.

 

I left some brown bits but if there still seen when the components are added then I  will most

likely also paint them Red or black.

Did you use a small brush for the red paint?

[Deblow]

Did you use a small brush for the red paint?

yes mate, small brush with water based paints

Why do you have to make everything look so good? It makes me feel bad about how ugly my build will be in comparison to yours... Nah just kidding, I love this build. Keep up the good work.

lol thanks mate, and yeah, yours if far from "Ugly"

UPDATE:

 

Almost done with the 3.5 HD racks, they will each hold 2 drives for now, but can be adjusted to fit 3 if needed.

 

Made from wood like almost everything.

 

 

 

Made some grills that match the ones I did for the sides of the desk a couple of months back.

 

 

 

Painted in flat black to match the other components & desk.

 

 

 

Added some RGB lighting, so they will have independent options as do all the other parts of the desk, this will give endless lighting/colour

options & modes.

 

 

once the HD racks are completed I can then move back on to the hard tubes

Very sick build!

Maybe consider taking of the bar code stickers from the hdd if they will be visible

[Robin_Sweden]

oh yes mate, going to remove any crap from them, them drives are old ones that i used for testing & building, IDE lol

 

I love it.       

Thanks! :D :D

[Deblow]

Took some shots of the pump lighting, gone with white for now untill I can capture the reds a bit better on a pro cam.

also painted the valve fittings black & red, 

& finally, did the hardest bend with 4 turns  after 2nd attempt

thanks both, I love it also, just annoying to be only looking at it for the past couple of months, I really want to start using it lol

Finally finished with the logos & MB, just need to install the Coolermaster logo around the center SSD compartment, 

then that part of the build is completed & I can finish up the loop, add the GPU & small details.

 

 

 

all the reds are much deeper & nicer, hope a professional camera will pick them up a bit better for when i do the final pics

[Deblow]

Been a bit busy with the family lately, but here's a quick update & should have more by the weekend

 

Completed the runner for the glass top/lift, had a couple of ideas for the lift but this was the best option for now, 

cost & time wise. 

 

made from -

A CM Storm Reaper mouse wheel, old shower attachment

& some spare Alphacool hardtube cut-offs.

coated the wheel with some rubber to help grip the glass without scratching hopefully.

 

[nmil]

Nice ghetto solution.  Not that it looks ghetto

[Deblow]

lol thanks

might rework the lift part later in the year, but this will have to do for now

[Deblow]

GPU block fitted & now installed, have a couple of ideas for the loop at this point,

will show the results as soon as im done testing them out

 

 

GPU backplate

 

 

 

This one is going on the top/side of the card & will be RGB.

 

 

 

 

Thanks all for now, getting excited now that i can see the finish line

[Nerykrugeer]

hope to have a big update this week, been hard to post for the last week as i moved from my old PC to the new build

installing windows, programs & all the editing stuff was a pain, I always forget my passwords lol

must have made about 30 "forgot my password" requests this week

Yeah, I know the feeling. I had to reinstall all of my programs to my new ssd and had the exact problem.

[Deblow]

reworked a couple of things as I was waiting for some items to arrive, 

 

redone the cable a bit better & in a brighter red than the 1st attempt..

 

 

 

 

Wasn't happy with the 1st carbon ASUS logos so iv also redone them, done them the same as the Deblow logo, 

used laser cut logos & cut the leather & wood backing to match & blend.
