I have built a few of these desks. And each time I have upgraded and learned from mistakes. This something I love doing. I love computers and I love wood working. I use to build houses and desks so I have learned a few things ;)

I started out with 2 sheets of MDF board.



First, screwed top and mid section together to make sure the hole was the same size



Time to build the sides, backs, and fronts.





A digital picture frame was going to show desk name but decided not to install that there.





I lost many pictures due to HDD crashing. But built the box connected to top piece.





Glue the inner trim down. The glass will sit on that



Made a mount for Picture frame




Project was put on hold for a little while.



Cut 4 1/4 inch holes for 120mm fans.
That tan thing was a support in a kids play table i found.
cut it up to fit a 12 inch neon behind





Mounted the box/top to the bottom of the desk and realized what I did wrong



So I did what I could to make it work



Now it starting to look like a desk



Time for some paint



I bought the wrong trim but I made it work. I think it came out great





Custom switch panel



Again, I have lost many pictures but here it is with hardware inside.
Doesn't look too bad.



Im sorry again for the lack of pictures. here is the desk up and running and there is more to come.
Modded a sealed loop to cool it and got some new hardware. I have a few pictures of the desk as it sits right now.







And this monster still is not finished. But for now She looks damn good.

New build coming soon.

Thank you looking :)

I have done many upgrades to my desk lately and more to come.









I got rid of that ugly silver. I have no idea why I put that in there. Covered it all up with carbon fiber. Looks much better

Now I have added many upgrades at this point.






I added my very first hard tubing water loops. For my first time working with this, I think I did a great job.

I added a few new components as well.









This is how it sits now as of early July 2015. I have had some help from sponsors so I will be rebuilding the inside of the desk as well as the top. Fitted with a new piece of glass. Also redoing all the carbon fiber in side and adding a new switch panel I have made. I have also got my hands on some Tt Riing fans for my desk too.

So I must thank,

Thermaltake
Aquatuning
OCOOL
Dremel
