Contact ASUS. I am 80% sure they will sponsor you.

basicly this thing is a Desk Case, lots people already done this (no offense ClownFace1511), and the Build is nearly complete

I had this strip lying around and decided to use it. 5m, RGB, with controller and all for $10, pretty good deal. For the next table I have some plans and I will be using better leds :)

Yea i use leds for the lights in my room, only white... but the 5050 leds have all 3 colors in 1 chip so you wont get that weird discoloring in the shadows and edges of stuff, but really nice deck, i custom built my desk as well but nothing as fancy as yours lol

I did look at the led strips with all the colours in 1 chip but there was no point blowing out the budget anymore than I already did, will definitely be getting some neat ones next time. They require a electric transformer and can be controlled from your phone, SMART leds basically. The currents ones do the job for now. I also like how people are building their own desks, its cool to see what some people design, its also cool to see people not plan it properly and realise they have no leg room or any room for graphic cards due to the height. Its a good project to start but it needs planning.

For the time being they are staying where they are, you cant see them or anything from sitting down at the table or from above. If you go behind the table you can see the bundle but the table is against the wall so its not a huge deal. Leg room is limited enough under the table so I wont be cutting holes to put them underneath, I already thought about that but it just wouldn't work.

 

Issues like this will be resolved in the new table, still working on a design.

Little bit of a progress update:

 

I was working on getting custom sleeving but decided to leave it how it is for now. Still saving up money for new monitors, been working for the past 3 weeks everyday since I finished school to get some money. Just spend about 2-3 hours hand drawing some new concepts as I am starting to design a new table. The inside looks so sick right now and i'm so keen to start building. I still need to work on dimensions and how it will look but I have a fair idea of what i am going to produce. Will still be a month or so before I start anything.

 

This current table is going ok so far, everything is working which is good. Cooling isn't the best and I have been hitting 80C on my cpu when rendering out videos which has been a bit disappointing. I was going to edit this table but decided to keep it original and make a new one. 2x 240mm rads just aren't doing it, the gpus are fine hitting 55C during gaming but i'm not happy about the cpu. These cooling issues will be addressed in the new table so don't be worried about that. If I get a chance I will take some nice photos of the table as I know I haven't got that many good ones. A photoshoot is on the list.

 

For now the table is basically complete so its time to pimp the setup :).

Haven't had a chance yet. I doubt this will get their attention but I will try.

Not sure whether to get an Acer predator or an Asus pg27aq. It really is a tough decision. I'll ask both for a sponsorship, worth a shot.

Hey Clown i got a question,

How hot was your Pc while you had no watercooling.

And how Loud are those Fans if you dont Use watercooling ?

Go the acer route, it has less pixels to drive in comparison to the PG27AQ, so you can get higher frame rates, although, I heard Asus may be releasing an ultrawide panel with gsync. So it may be worth to see if Asus can give you an early sample to showcase.

I was using a noctua 120mm air cooler and getting like mid 80c on the non over clocked CPU while like 70-75c on the GPUs. The fans do get loud with no watercooling. The GPUs would spin up to 80% rpm where you could hear them and they would be loud yet the CPU would stay at 600rpm. With water cooling I'm running all fans at 600rpm and they don't change and I can't hear anything at all unless I put my ear right next to the fan.

I was reading stuff about the predator and people seemed to have issues with backlight bleed and colour banding and stuff and although Acer fixed them up its still a quality control problem. Also being ultrawide game compatibility is not always there. Then again I'm happy to tinker around with that stuff. Also Asus being 4k I run into that fps issue but with 2x 980ti I will be getting over 60fps. I'm more of a 3 screen type of guy but if Acer is willing to help me out then by all means I will try something different.

Let me just tell you this is a work of art. I could only dream of building something like this with a $9.00 an hour minimum wage. Good luck finding sponsors for your 4k monitors!

Was building this during my final year of school, got paid $20 a week from selling newspapers. Its money I saved up over the past few years just by doing odd jobs like building friends computers and cleaning windows at a cafe for some extra cash. I now have a full time job while on holidays from school and preparing for Project Ravage V2.
