Damn Cope, that's looking sexy for a bench rig --

That must be massive, that PSU looks tiny in comparison to the rest of the setup -- Can't wait to see when it's all done =)

haha well its a small PSU anyways i just keep it around to test hardware out if needed... but in that rig it looks like a baby

hopefully my real PSU will not look so small haha

lol don't worry the 'Duke' has a backplate so you wont notice the part that did not get painted Just figured it would help save paint haha

backplate ^^^

You can see how I am planning on lighting the 'Duke' so it has a nice shine ... although that wont be completely done until later in the week because a few parts i needed to order

everything in the picture is glued and nailed so its pretty much done besides the touch up painting which I will do tomorrow and then everything should be perfect and fully covered!

[copenhagen69]

haha all good

Well finished putting everything on except the 1 thing i had to order. all the wood and everything like that is glued and nailed so i guess technically it is finished but just needs a few aesthetic touch ups...

could not paint today due to the massive rain we have here. however tomorrow is suppose to be like 70 and sunny so i will finish the touch ups then and i am hoping wednesday i should have the last piece of the build in to put it on and be 100% done.

 

[copenhagen69]

wooooo 73 and sunny today... yesterday sucked with the 5 inches of rain we got I could not do anything.

will be touching up the paint job today

Also: stay tuned for .... A Wooden Beast: Story of A Desk
Thats right what custom tech station does not deserve its own custom desk lol ...

 

[copenhagen69]

pre-wrap to the touch up paint ....





just to get an idea of how much tape I used .... the roll on the left is what is left over and the roll on the right is brand new ... each roll is 60 yards long haha

now off to paint some red

 

[copenhagen69]

ahhhhhhh this thing soaks up so much paint haha .... a few coats on and its still sucking it up ...bout to go old school on its ass if it doesn't stop it

Its going to be my tech station for testing equipment and OCing and all that good stuff

all the other tech stations just seemed to small for my tastes and had no character to them :shadedshu

 

[Techtu]

Ohhh I see, so stuff like HDD's, Optical drives & motherboards etc sounds perfect.
