Project MEGA DEBLOW - Watercooled Desk Mod

Thanks everyone for your comments,
Totally agree with you about it looking a bit crappy to start with
I was not expecting it to turn out so well and neither was my wife and friends.
unfortunately i did not take pictures of the full build as i had no idea i would be posting it on here for all the world to see :D
Some of the wood shown at the start was replaced and more care taken.

The vinyl sticks to the wood find colinmcr, so long as the wood if dust free and sanded
the desk top took some doing and i needed the help of my wife, or so i thought
but she just made the job even harder :)

I'v been a bit tied up over the holidays & I'm still waiting for some parts
due to arrive.
hopefully i will have all the final build photos uploaded within the next 8 weeks, then i can make a start on something a bit more challenging if I'm of my crutches by then (fingers crossed)
 
right now im rebuilding the desk and making some changes, i was almost done with the build but i have the parts needed to watercool the GPU's

It will take me some weeks to complete the photos of the build items and after the pics are uploaded i will start adding more desk photos..

here are the EK compression fitting i wll be using for most connections

haha,, thanks for the offer
I'm always up for a holiday, not had one for over 5 years now :(

The desk should be 100% done within the next month

Now working on the final build, most of the desk is just how i want it but i will need to add more room for a 2nd RAD and re-position a couple of things.
i will also be adding 3 more switches to control the UV/LED's and adding a pullout for a second keyboard or my pad and phone.

after not being able to find the triple RAD guards i wanted to use i have decided to try make my own, more than likely from black perspex.

if everything goes to plan (finger crossed) i should have the desk up and running in 4 to 6 weeks .

Fine work sir - I love these pimped up glass covered in-table builds! They are few and far between but yours has turned out stunning.
 
got to agree with everyone here, that desk looks epic. the carbon fibre wrap is a very nice finishing touch.
 
Impressive looking desk/computer :) Wish I had the space to do something like that...oh and the time and the money LOL

Thanks :)
The wrap was a must for this build due to the wood i was working with, its a mix of 3D and 4D carbon.

Thank you ndaar, tbh i did not know i had the skill to do what i have so far, and im sure if i was to do it again it would be better
its not cost that much as i already had most the components for the PC, the wood was from old bits i already had and the glass was given for free by a good friend.

As for the time and space, I don't have much space but i do have lots of free time as i have been of work with my broken leg for over a year now and its not looking like
its going to heal any time soon :(

Thanks jimbaw, I was told very strongly by my wife that i did not have the skills and i would more than likely cause a house fire lol.
my skills are not as good as some other people i've seen on the forums, but i do feel more confident now its almost done and all is working out well so far :)
