Posted September 20, 2015 Author Maybe you cloud get the cheap $37 tablet that was on Unbox Therapy (don't remember the name) and permanently attache that to the TUF detective, you could probably work that into the desk somehow. And you already know what I'm going to say about the build so far. I attempted to do just that with a cheap android phone, unfortunately the app dont like cheap china phone having to use it with my Note 4 for now, but just connected as & when needed, normally when im messing with the overclocking. will show it in more detail as soon as the final photos get done, waiting for a KB to arrive then need to borrow a decent camera that can pick up the RGB lighting better. yeah I do Thanks Project Alternate - Complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 21, 2015 Played around with a couple of loop options, 1st was the standard CPU > GPU1 > GPU2 then I tested how it performs going from CPU> GPU1 & 2 My temp on GPU 2 was slightly better & it looked cooler so im sticking with that option Im still getting temps around 3c to 5c hotter on my GPU2 compared to GPU1. could be I need to redo the paste again or tighten the plate up a bit more will mess with it a bit more if the temp on GPU hits 60c or more when hardcore gaming. Used lots of bog roll lol Also completed the Alphacool logo, RGB controlled, so far I like RED & BLUE, hard to get some good pics of the reds though Replaced the 2 fan controllers for 1 duel bay, Phobya MaxGuide 6 The new controller has 6 temp monitors, I plan to just use 3 for now, room temp, desk temp & GPU backplate temp what waterblock is that and how in the world did you do that?

Posted September 21, 2015 Author what waterblock is that and how in the world did you do that? Its the Alphacool (OCOOL) block for the R9-295x2 duel GPU card so the cooling goes from CPU to both GPU1 & 2 before hitting the RADs Project Alternate - Complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 27, 2015 Author This will be the last update before the final photos just awaiting the keyboard, new screen & Iv also ordered a new DSLR camera. Not planing to change mouse for now, so iv modded the "Reaper" mouse to go with the new theme, Black with red lighting & rather than changing the LEDs (approximately 5) I used filters. stuck with white for the front, red was too dull against the black mouse mat. This is why I need a new camera, the logo & mouse should be a nice red like knight-riders car Added the dye (Mayhems Blood Red) under white lighting its red, other lighting options make it more black looking just like real blood looks at night, I like this effect, but im sure I will test some other dye options at some point as this is the 1st time iv used clear hard tubes. in the back you can see the re-worked fan covers, now flat black with the centres sanded clear to capture light. Hope to be back very soon with the final photos, Project Alternate - Complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 27, 2015 I like the fan grills much more now, and the lesser amount of coolermaster logos looks good too. Nice spot for the temp sensor in there as well, I almost didn't see it at first. Also I see the xenomorph now!

I think they look better now too, forgot to say I removed some badges sensor screens are just at the right angle for me to see them from a seated position, as if I have them level with the desk they become dim or washed out. use to have shelf's where the Alien is but now im low on space for all my crap, might have to move it & stick some shelf's back up when I can be bothered drilling the walls again lol Project Alternate - Complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 10, 2015 Author May be a bit much to ask, but do you have blueprints for this stunning desk? Sorry for the late reply, been working on getting everything rdy for final photos now all my bits are here, Im asked lots of times about blueprints, cant share any as i dont have any to give unless i make some, all work was done from looking at the artwork posted & what's in my head. only sizes I noted was H,W & L of the overall desk as I needed to be sure it would be ok for my arms & legs, but i got that a bit wrong and had to re-cut half way though the build & reduce the hight by 2 or 3" as my arms wasn't level with the desktop Project Alternate - Complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 12, 2015 Author The project looks very nice you did a wonderful job GTaTz! The only issues I see Is fitting a chair under the desk and moving it, that thing looks heavy. Thanks mate, I will show this in the video at a later date, the chair fits to the point that the arms hit the desk, I wouldn't want to get any closer as I use the armrests 99% of the time. the photos make it look less space than I really have though, Nice! That looks amazing. Thanks Amazing craftsmanship not just the desk it self but all the mods. Freaking outstanding really. thanks. yeah this build was all about the desk & fittings, the components will come and go over the years but i hot to keep the desk for as long as i have the space Project Alternate - Complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 12, 2015 Author Well after what feels like years, the desk is finally done & photographed for all to see firstly, I think picking RED as my main colour was a mistake! not for me, as it looks fine IRL, but I just cant get the reds to show correct on the photos, So any photos that have what looks like PINK or ORANGE lighting please try imagine that its RED lol because of this problem I decided to take most photos with blue or white lighting on & cut down on the reds used I plan on getting a new camera later so will upload some more if they look any better, For now I have plenty of OK photos for you to look at & a youtube vid will be done over the next couple of weeks. It will be mostly picture links now, so I will say thanks to everyone for the input during my logs & the positive attitudes that help encourage myself & others to keep on building & posting, Thanks to all the people that helped me carry things around due to my leg problem, Carl, Barry, Ian, Andreas & lots more, especially the wife. & all the sponsors that help with the costs of components & support throughout the build. This desk was designed with the hope it would look as good OFF as it would on, so it was all about shapes & natural light, I have very little light in my small room as you will see soon lol. with the shapes came the problem of usability & practicality, i tackled this in a couple of ways, not all perfect but enough to hide/store my clutter & make the desk usable for daily tasks like gaming I know its a bit whack compared to most desks, but I hope you like the final result even if you wouldn't want it in your living-room lets crack on so I can get some sleep!
