The desk that i striped the paint of and stained had three shallow draws so i decided that it would be nice to have a file draw to store stuff in so i combined two draws with glue and dowels and  cut some slots in the side of the draw to put a piece of metal. they are stained the same color as the desk.

This is the piece of metal

The one on the top is what original drawer looked like

This is a picture of them both in the desk.

Another thing i did was attached wooden dowels to the desk so that the top of the desk would not rock back and fourth as much.

Plans for water cooling

 

  • Cpu Xspc Raystorm or Swiftech APOGEE HD ultimate exterme preformance in black (i think they could have used a longer name for it)
  • Gpu EK-FC670 GTX DCII-Nickel
  • Mother board i will be using the built in water cooling I have a maximus 5 formula witch i believe has a copper pipe in it.
  • Ram I am not planing to water cool the ram but i may change my mind. 
  • Rads 2 Alpha cool NexXxos xt 45 full copper 306mm
  • pump Mcp655
  • Res Bitspower Water Tank z 250 clear acrylic
  • Tubing Primo flex advanced lrt bloodshed red or some kind of ridged tubing.
  • Fittings what ever as long as they look nice
  • Fans Bit Fenix spectre pro fans black i want them to be almost silent well quiet enough that i dont hear them with open style headphones on. i think I will to undervolt them to 7v if anyone has experience with these fans or any other fan like the noise blocker black silent pros please tell me how they are and if you like them. i would like the fans to be at most $20 each i would prefer $10-$15
  • Fluid i will probably just go with distilled of de ionized water with a silver coil in it.

I will be putting this list in the front page of the build log I would like some criticism on the water cooling parts. If any of you guys get me to change my mind i will just change it on the first page of the build log.

It looks very uncomfortable to me. I mean, your elbows are almost at your shoulders height...

I have gotten used to it since the desk i had before this was was a work bench meant for standing. the height of my arms don't really bother me but when i play xbox (ya i know xbox but what ever its only for gta 5) I put my hands between the desk and the desk top that is the only time that the height really bothers me. I think its also good because it makes me sit up straighter which means less slouching, which is better for my back. But i could care less about that, but who knows maybe in 20 years i will be thank full that i slouched less. Who knows.

As i said, to me, it seems very uncomfortable, but hey, if it works for you, good.  :) 

I said that it looked uncormfortable, because you should sit at a desk (at least to my knowledge) with your shoulders relaxed and your elbows close to your upper body... I know I know... all of this is very relative... but hey, I'm pointing out the things im seeing in the pic.

I don't want to sound like a doctor or a physiotherapist, because im not !, but again, im just saying this to my knowledge and experience.

 

 

Leaving that aside, good job on the desk  ;)
