Dark D3sk ~Scratch Build~ MUST SEE :)

Dark D3sk


Hey so this is my first scratch build i am doing. One day I was looking at my old build an I thought to myself well this is nice and everything but it look generic compared to most of the computer cases these days so I thought that I sould build myself a new case for my computer. I was original inspired by Peter and his L3p D3sk, so that what I am planning to build, A desk like his but I wanted it to be better (as in looks) so I opened up Google Sketch up and started making the first designs in there and this is what I came up with

(P.S Started this build about 2 years ago but have been held up with schooling and exams. But since I have just finished school, I will be able to finally finish the desk build. So this is why i'm finally posting it over here :) )

Now I have got started with the build by getting the materials and bending the bay for the desk

So is finally got around to making the frame and bay for the desk, still LOADS to go before the desk is finished

Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.

Don't forget about the airflow think twice before making any cuts

I love the blue screens in the first post for added detail.

 

Also, your desk looks amazing so far. Hope it'll turn out exactly the way you want it to  ;)

In  these images I have made the cutout in the back of the plate for the rear IO.
The motherboards shown in the pictures or just some old ones I had sitting round to check if it would all fit

Here is a quick shitty Photoshop of what I need to do next

Did  you make the PCIE cage yourself, or did you purchase it?
