Scratch Build : L3p D3sk - Small update :P 15-7

[L3p]

Such an honor to get a compliment from a such a modder
I have been drooling next to your case @ Cebit 2011
Goodluck to you too man !

[L3p]

Made some time free to give a little update.
Still got a lot to do this weekend to be able to update from my main pc


I knew i could get it smaller !



First leds are working.
Also some cables ready for under the mainboard tray.




Further on with the pump-tray and got the reservoir hanging again.



Used the same anti vibration rubber under my HDD's and tray as i use for my glass.
I really love this stuff.




Guess cable management will come later, more and more cables every day




Also a small uv led stroke for the right side fans.




Now also leds in the pumptops.
I like it more then the regular black ones i had.
This photo is with UV leds in it, but thats WAY too purple.
But somehow i cant show it in photo's




So i tried blue leds after that, and i liked it





Next update tomorrow

Hey, not sure if you have seen this stuff, but it looks awesome and you can use molex connections to power it.

EL Wire/Tape

Thanks man !
Yeah i've seen it before, i was thinking about plexi beneath my trays with leds behind it.
But maybe this is a good solution too.

[L3p]

Took me a full hour to find the combination so i can use 2 SLI pipes for the right pump




Molex plugs on the leds of the mainboard




So ill be busy the rest of the day connecting all these cables

[L3p]

What a long week this was


Custom length BP pipes










Bottom also finished.




Time to fill up




Just had to make some pictures.








Back to getting the system up and running
So the rubbers for the glass.




First "backplate" in it's place.




Now find a way to work away the cables for 3 screens.




Wow second boot it was up and running.
I really was happy with this.




And im so glad i was able to disable the red leds of the Killer 2100 by the software.




And some pictures of last night.










This morning went up early again and it was smiling to me




Also very handy those usb connections on Dells




And some more night pictures.







Still some small stuff to do.
Polishing the deskholder and the l3p logo.
And some cables need to be changed.

After that ill borrow a better cam and make some better photo's.

Great Work!!!

[L3p]

Here a last update before i post pictures from the Canon camera i borrowed from my best friend AJ


Sanded and polished the logo again.




Quite some work.





Don't wanted it to mirror to much.



Also ordered some other stuff also for future projects.









Different sizes of M4, next week i get M3 too




Tapped it at the last moment for the bitspower thumbscrews.




And ready to shoot some photo's.

I hope you enjoyed the photo's !

There will still be some small mods inside the d3sk, but first some rest after 8 months of modding

Hey, good job on finally getting it finished! (for now). I know you just got a new mouse, but I would like to recommend the Logitech Performance MX. It will work on your glass/ acrylic with out the mousepad. It will even work on a mirror, pfff nearly everything. Also I noticed to have the Logitech Illuminated Keyboard, why not go ahead and get their wireless illuminated one? My fiance uses it and the MX, as her setup is next to our bed instead of on a desk. The wireless keyboard can be stored vertically and uses the same connector as the mouse to recharge the batteries (micro usb). The batteries do last quite awhile before getting low, here they only get charged maybe once a month, or every other month.

They also use the same receiver, so you only need one and use the unifying software.

[L3p]

Oh my, cannot see the pics in Firefox or Chrome so I suspect hosting. A real bummer at this critical moment. Now that I wanted to comment I can't judge your mod, except for what little I remember from seeing your thread sometime ago. What I did remember was that it is impressive and not very adequate for lan parties, hehe. I thought it would probably weigh easily over 100 kgs. and bolted to the wall makes it a totally integral part of your house or apartment/flat.

Apart from a very cool mod, if there were an additional prize for sheer weight and size, I figure you have that tied up. This is something to remember for sure!

Best of luck on the pics and then the comp.

Cheers and Saludos

Site is up again !

Thanks a lot man !

Well its 3mm thick aluminum.
The desk itself with all the plates weights "only" 24 Kg
With the hardware i think it'll be around 40 Kg.
But your right, this one isn't created for lans
Though i did think of a special holder for the desk to take it to a lan in 2012.
