[Project] L3p D3sk

l3p · Feb 19, 2011

Found some time today to cleanup the Asus 5790.

Temporary on an Asus EN210 till the other hardware comes, who needs WC

After that it was time to get the third screen hanging

2 hours of measuring, fitting, mounting, unmounting and everything again

l3p · Feb 24, 2011

After 3 weeks of mailing with Asus, Highflow and EKWB, finally some pics for you guys.

After building this in im ready with the hardware part, and hope to finally enjoy a game

Off course it still needs to be powdercoated in mat black in the comming weeks/months.
I hope to finish off this project then.

I specially want to thank :

This because they did a very nice sponsoring.
Without Highflow i could never made this SLI dream true.

Freddy en colleagues thanks !

For the Asus Rampage III Extreme i won in the Asus Pride contest.
And for the Asus GTX480 i could use to order some other Asus cards @ Highflow

Milan en colleagues thanks !

This because he's sending me a very nice package for the second time this month.
Im totally in love with the EK Plexi blocks !

Gregor and colleagues thanks !

(Thinking about marrying Freddy, Milan en Gregor)

Planned to do a lot, but i just kept staring

Totally in love with the Asus GTX580

Thinking to place them in a rack like samurai swords

One can't live without the other..

Pretty big plates

Replacing the standard red top with a black one.

Bling !

Bling Bling!

Nicest block i had till now

Can't wait to mount them

Playing with the Lamptron UV-active Slot Protectors

And some stuff to put the cards in SLI.
Also some extra BP parts can be quite handy.

To clean up the dirty little chips.

More pics will follow, i hope you enjoyed them

keep it coming man.

I like how you said you'll soon be able to enjoy a game. How long have you been working on this now? haha.

I love all the updates you post; it's so sweet checkin' this out.

[H]@RD5TUFF · Feb 24, 2011

MOAR NAO!!!!!!!!!

Always enjoy every update, by far and away my favorite mod in years.

HammerON · Feb 25, 2011

You have some of the best "updates" I have ever seen on these projects :toast:

l3p · Feb 25, 2011

It isnt finished yet, and i lost count in hours and money

jasper1605 · Feb 26, 2011

Looks pretty, I'm pumped to see a video of the whole monster up and running.

Also +1 to you for that song; I enjoy hearing the intro every time lol.

l3p · Mar 6, 2011

Here some pictures of the conversion.

First of all, thanks again Highflow, EKWB en Asus !

Even on air they are lovely.

But i love WC blocks

You can easily spend a hole evening on 2 cards.

And thats 1

And thats 2

Had a small break, had to wait for a replacement part for the EK rex3 block (broke while shipping)

And i've been to Cebit to personally thank one of my sponsors

Replacement part came in the next morning

Quite an impressive block, it has 4 O-rings in it

And now the adjustments for the bigger mainboard and the extra needed cables for the gpu's

Had to do everything by hand cause i didnt want to clear the hole desk

Also the mainboard tray needed some work.

Discs specially aluminum.

And done.

Now i can start fitting in the Bitspower parts

Every SLI connector has to fit exactly.

One of the many times fitting it in the desk.

Only one connector to go.

Got the tip to polish the silvercoil

Hmm..

But it's shiny again

Cable for the extra molex on the Rex3.

After one hour i finally found a way to get all the cables under the mainboardtray

And some teasers for later this week

When looking for the newest bios for the rex3, i also found a driver for symbian phones.
I had no idea this was so easy

Seriously l3p, you gotta stop posting this ridiculousness.

It's hard to type when my left hand is holding my jaw up off the floor.

I'm glad you wrote 'jaw' in there cause I'd read something completely different.

l3p · Mar 10, 2011

Cleared some 230V cables for the tft's today.
Made a 3-way disconnect-able cable ^^

3 AMP connectors.

And done

Still need to fix the resolutions so the conversion looks better

I almost enjoy the view like in real life

I don't think any1 would be able to make one for 1.2k

l3p · Mar 11, 2011

Bought something second hand.
Saw it and just had to have it

But still no clue what to do with it

n-ster · Mar 11, 2011

Think he meant just the desk without hardware

l3p · Mar 11, 2011

Thats what i meant too

n-ster · Mar 11, 2011

Ho much did the desk alone cost you?

l3p · Mar 11, 2011

Ok this is what i had to pay.

Aluminum €350,- (special price by friend)
Glass €75,- (special price by friend)
Glass rubber €20,-
Sound isolation €50,-
Usage of bow, cut machine and l3p logo €100,-
Tools, bolts and other small stuff €100,-

Thats without any fans, fanguards and other modded parts.
And the hours of work in it .. i got no idea

But if you have to let it be done by a company, i think 40 hours ?
And thats without any modification for the waterloop.

You definitively put your heart and soul in there huh?

So tell me, how PROUD are you to have that... it must be fun not only to show it off to friends but to have the pride to say I DID IT!!! I BUILT IT ALL ALONE!!! YES I BUILT THE FREAKING DESK... what? Am I a genius? OF COURSE !!!!11!!!!11!!! :rockout:

l3p · Mar 12, 2011

Well my "offline" friends actually rather call me nuts then a genius

("WTF IS THAT !?")

Very nice. I had some just like that in an old PC but mine were for the left and right audio channels and HDD activity (if I remember correctly). The analog dials used to move to the beat of the music.....looked AWESOME (I will have to find the video I made when i get home lol)
