[Casemod] Tt D3sk

l3p · Apr 25, 2016

Back again!

I was invited for the Thermaltake 2016 CaseMOD Invitational Season 1, such an honor!
Normally I prefer a scratch build but with the Thermaltake P5 I just couldn't ignore my idea for it

Specs:

Intel Core i7-6700K
Asus Maximus VIII Formula
Asus Geforce GTX980 Strix (2x)
Asus ROG Swift PG348Q 34" 100Hz
Avexir Red Tesla 2666Mhz 16GB
Samsung 950 Pro 256GB M.2
Thermaltake Core P5 (2x)
Thermaltake DPS G RGB 1250W Ti
Thermaltake Fully Liquidcooled

Enjoy!

Lets kick off with the first big update

Unpacking .. Awesome!

The P5's

480 Rads

Plenty of pump power.

Reservoirs

Lots of fans.

Cpu and Strix blocks

Not sure yet if and how much I will use it, but a bending kit

It will be a mixture of PETG and nickelplated brass

All unpacked

So shiny!

The gaming gear! Off course needed to complete a desk.

First steps, mounting the fans.

And sleeving the pumps.

Just trying to imagine myself how it would look.

Sawing mounting rails for the desk

Will be using regular shelve holders to mount the desk to the wall

The idea

More next time

l3p · Apr 27, 2016

Today the hardware and modcave

Best looking mainboard ever.

The power.

Avexir memory

Lovely ssd.

GPU power.

More power

Some shots together.

Cleaned up the modcave where it's all going to happen.

peche · Apr 27, 2016

Regards,

l3p · May 1, 2016

Thanks guys!

I planned the whole weekend for measuring, cutting, drilling, filing, sanding etc

Ahh yes .. what I've been waiting for!

One arm should be able to hold 63kg, I'm using 4 of them.

Not much left of the internals.

Bottom shot.

So lets cut! (tried the dremel once again .. screw that)

Cover plate for right side of the desk where normally the mainboard goes

More filing needed

And holes

Also countersinking the PSU

Sorry, I don't like stickers

Rads also more inside

More holes, drilling and sanding.

Just had to test the fans

Frogger · May 1, 2016

Subbed First Place?? Oops didn't mean to put a hex on

l3p · May 1, 2016

More drilling, cutting, filing and sanding.

Came up with an little idea to bring 12V for fans, pump and lighting to the right side of the desk.

Picked up the laminated glas panel for the Tt d3sk.

Also picked up something awesome to complete this desk setup

Back to the 'powerbar'

2 molex lines directly from PSU to the right side.

Some wire management inside the P5

Test

Shortening the massive steel poles which will hold the glass panel.

I just found out where my safety glasses were

Few to go.

Going to test the hardware without liquidcooling. Very excited!

I never thought about the ROG logo from the Asus PG348 ... normally it shines ON your desk ...
I like the effect

Oh my shit that looks amazing. l3p is definitely the king of desks!~!~!~!~!

l3p · May 5, 2016

Thanks man :cool:

Time to mount the blocks!

I always love these

2 hours later.

I'm working with several controllers for fans and lighting and want to have them in groups.
Fans - Top lighting - Bottom lighting
Need multiple cables and extensions from side to side through the 'powerbar'

Like this

Also want some cable managements, all extra cable out of sight in the P5

Done!

l3p · May 7, 2016

The loop. Finally!

First some pads underneath the GPU's

And the first fittings and pipe

Works like a charm

Should become something like this.

But still lots to do.

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · May 7, 2016

FFS.........

wonderful stuff.

Frogger · May 9, 2016

OMG Plumbing work to die for :respect:

l3p · May 13, 2016

Haha thanks guys!

And another update!
Almost used all the fittings.

But glad some extra are on the way.

So first some more cable management.

So also the Displayport, keyboard and mouse cable.

Done!

Checking if everything still works.

Also received a flowmeter to check out.

Funny mirroring seen from bottom.

I guess white isn't too bad either.

ERazer · May 13, 2016

this dude

OneMoar · May 14, 2016

I demand you stop being awesome right this second
its making us look bad

Devil-Walker · May 14, 2016

My god . That's looks awsome.

jgunning · May 15, 2016

Wow! Very impressive mate!! Love it!

l3p · May 21, 2016

Thanks a lot guys, really appreciate it!

Finally the last fittings also arrived.

So I could finish the last part of the loop.

And testing if everything still works ..

Time to fill it up

Always exciting

Not a single leak

Next thing is also very exciting ... is the hardware still working?

Awesome when you see on first boot "CPU Fan speed error detected"
That's good

And so the glass panel goes up

Chair also fits perfectly

One last small update and then ... final pics!

l3p · May 22, 2016

Small extra before the final post.
Found some plexi from a previous project which will come to good use

Sawing, sanding and polishing.

And done

l3p · May 24, 2016

I want to thank everyone for following this project!
For me personally it was quite a challenge.
First of all because of the available free time I had next to my job and family.
But specially to create a 'Desk PC' below $400 of material. (2xP5 + tools + glass + mounting)
All this with standard tools like a jigsaw, drill, ironsaw, file and sandpaper.

So here's my contribution to the Thermaltake CaseMOD Invitational 2016 Season 1

Finally I had 20 minutes to enjoy DOOM

I tested all possible color combinations, my personal choice was Blue/Red, however I think many will like white too.

ps. Should I make a little video too?

PHaS3 · May 24, 2016

Your mods are always out of this world man

Thanks for sharing again.

Please do make a vid

l3p · May 25, 2016

Thanks!

Made something for all of you to check the other builds with their latest photos too

If you want to leave a vote for someone (and with that be able to win a prize) I would really appreciate it

Poll

Thanks!

l3p · May 28, 2016

Because a lot of people seem to like white lighting too I made some extra photos.

I'm back to the promised video!

stinger608 · May 28, 2016

Okay, here is the deal:

You need to send all of this, including the chair, to me.........I expect it by the end of next week............Bhahahahaha :laugh:

On a serious note, this is simply amazing man!!!!!!! Its not a "mod" its a frigging work of art!!!! :respect:
