So, progress has been made with the desk.

 

A few days have past, i have my 24 hour leak test complete and so far no dramas. Next phase of the build is to put the three 27 inch monitors up on the monitor stand i purchased from USA.

I open the monitor stand box only to find that the wrong stand had been sent out to me. Instead of a free standing stand that i ordered, i received a stand with a clamp screw to hold the monitor mount onto the desk, which is a bit of a problem...

 

 

The clamp cannot open wide enough to fit the thickness of my desk due to the desk being a hollow box roughly 200mm thick. Thoughts....

I came up with a solution that only Albert Einstein himself would think of, okay that's a lie it didn't take much to come up with the idea.
I had to create a wooden stand that the monitor mounting stand could clamp onto and the stand had to screw into the back section of the desk, pretty simple...

Went to Bunnings warehouse and scored myself three 1m lengths of wood for free (who would have thought..).
I cut each length down to 800x150mm and cut a small piece to screw on top of the three side pieces. This top piece acted as the base for which the monitor mount would clamp on to.

 

 

 

By creating the stand it also relieves the desk of all weight and prevents any possible bowing of the wood. The stand turned out well as you can see.
I covered it in some left over carbon fibre wrap and now i can attach all three of my monitors and run either a nvidia surround setup or run with the 3 seperate screens with the two gtx 780 ti GPU's in SLI mode.
Also by having only the 3 sides and an open back it acts as a place to hide cables which makes everything look neater and well managed.

 

 

My desk is up and running now so updates will be posted very shortly within the next few days.

Again, please help me out by liking my Facebook page, subscribe to my YouTube where i will be posting regular videos of game footage and desk mods. It would really help me out, i appreciate the support Cheers.

Yes it's pretty .

But you can game on it? 

All these LEDs seems distracting and isn't it too high for comfort?

[Prokart2000]

i cant imagine those speakers will do the hdd's much good. also how come you have water cooled the hdd's but not the ram?

the ram I have does not have a dedicated waterblock so I am unable to. Cooling the HDD'S is for asthetics. The RAM is right next to an intake fan so it is getting cold air blown onto it anyway

[SuspiciousBadger]

Holy shit everything is watercooled!

ram doesn't need cooling at all. the heat spreaders are pointless. i didn't realise you cant get blocks for dom plats as loads of people use them.

hdd's do need waterblocks though -__-

After the major accident involving the leakage on the motherboard i finally got to refill the desk. The liquid coolant i am using is distilled water with some mayhems UV green dye. Please enjoy.

 

Please visit my facebook page to see more photos at a higher quality and chuck me a like, it would really help me out.

This is the distilled water i picked up from Big W. I had a fair amount of trouble trying to find distilled water because most places were either sold out or only had deionized/demineralised water.

 

 

When filling the loop i always had some cloth/towels near by incase of a possible spill/leak.

 

 

I used a funnel with a drink bottle to fill the loop. It made the process much faster and easier which saved a lot of time.

 

 

 

I made sure the pump always had water in it so that it would never run dry. By letting the pump run dry you can ruin it.

 

 

 

I started adding the Mayhems UV green dye to the distilled water one drop at a time until i achieved the look i was after.

 

 

 

 

The loop was filled so i had to start leak testing for 24 hours. Always make sure to put some cloth/towels/paper towel to prevent possible fluid leaks from getting onto components.

 

 

 

 

 

I always checked how the leak test was going every so often..

 

 

Here are a few images after the leak test

So i have finally finished the desk and the leak testing is over. I plan to over clock the CPU and GPU but i will do that at a later date and share the results with you guys. The x99 series motherboards, DDR4 RAM and new GPU's are coming out so i am most likely going to upgrade the desk when these items are out on the market. Here are some final photos, please enjoy and remember you can watch my full build log series at:

and you can view more photos of the desk build, my upcoming cabinet build and some awesome modifications at my facebook page:

That is my water cooled PC desk modification with built in car audio system, Please note the audio system works well but there are obviously better audio systems out there, the car audio was used purely so do something different, to save room and because the green and black suits the theme.

 

Once again please show your support by checking out my youtube and facebook page for more photos/build log videos and game footage.

I am about to start my liquid cooled PC cabinet mod which will be a red and black theme so check out my pages to follow that build which is being sponsored, Cheers.
