[Project] L3p D3sk



Hi there

I'm quite new to this forum, but since they liked my build at some Dutch hardware sites, i wanted to post it here too.

My other build came to an end and didn't know what to improve, but my old desk almost fell apart.

Since im already busy with this project for 3 months now, here are all the pics in one post.

Started with an Aluminium plate of 1850x990x3





Plates for the mainboard tray, hdd tray, pump/res tray and cable plate







The bearer ring to hold my desk




Been to an other company to make a logo




And back to welding








Plasmacutter to make some cable holes




End of the first long day


Creating a logo (was just a try, worked out well)





Made some holes for the lcd's for the in and outgoing water temperature, and for the logo



Had to make some changes to let my knees fit



Fitting the trays with sound isolation under it.





I love packages !



Thought the buttons would the same, gonna change for 2 big one's now.



Sound isolating for under my trays.



My best friend welding



Holes for the Bitspower fanguards
Both sides will have 3x 120mm Scythe Gentle Typhoons 1450 rpm op 5V
Underground will be 9x 120mm Scythe Gentle Typhoons 1450 rpm op 12V @ the 1080 radiator





Thats me !









"Rough" work is done







A Bitspower Black Sparkle Ashtray





So brought the d3sk back home

















Gonna use the backplate of an old lianli. (Thanks brother in law !)





Fitting, measuring and hanging





The battlefield.













Just playing around







New toy arrived



Fitting and measuring, pff



Forgot a hole



So made it bigger



Mess outside



Made 2 extra 120mm fan holes in the cable-space, cause i decided my psu will come there too.
And made the hole for the lianli backplate.





Bitspower !





And building everything back for the hole picture

Temperatures are better then in my Corsair 800D



Now first some rest behind my d3sk, before it goes to the powdercoater









Found a nice connector for the Bulgin power and reset button to be disconnected easily.

This is how i drain my loop




Stripping time !




And building it up again with a bitspower mb block, and i rotated my EK HF
This is because i forgot i needed to rotate it when the flow comes from the other side compared to my other build.




Rubbertaped the borders, because the coating will come a few months later




How my Raidcard looked like



And how it looks now







Bitspower block




Rubber tape looks grey, but its because of the flash, normally its black







Till the next little update

I don't think I could even design this let alone build it!

Very nice work man; it's awesome to see people put love into things they do. And then share it with lots of pictures

Finally found some time for a little update

Package came in this morning
Found a Corsair Dominator GT 2000mhz CL7 elpida set.







Looks easy, but isn't



Old and new set






Also added an UV Led strip behind the logo to lighten it up some more.

Why don't you live in the USA or Canada? I would have stolen you L3pdesk or at least asked you to make me one at a fair price...

How many hours did it take to build the desk itself? and how much cost in material?
