Wow great project. Looking forward to seeing the finished article.
Absolutely superb mate, I love those Power cables, that's something I want to do (create my own specific length cables). Any chance you could put a list up of the parts you used, so that others could copy your design
Ok mate, here's the list:
UK Plug

8mm cable sleeving

Rubber sleeved Grommet

And don't forget the electrical cable
Have fun.

New update. At long last...
Hi there guys, been a while since my last update but I'm back with quite a bit this time. Hope you enjoy it...
Cabling will definitely be a pain in this case an pretty much all cables will have to be made of a specific length, to assist with the cable/hose management I have decided to create some custom cable and water cooling hose clips.
Here you can see some of them just before having the bottom edge sanded
Before and after...
The hose clips ready to be drilled so that I can fit the threaded inserts
...and with the inserts in place.
All nice and cosy already in the desk and with same of the cables in place
Have decided to go with the Bitfenix spectre pro fans due to the ease of turning the leds on/off. However, not before giving it a bit of a F3nix twist
With the nice Silverstone fan dust filters in place. Many thanks to Silverstone once more, they are really of a great quality and near enough invisible when in place!!!
Can see some of them in place here...
Worked on the back oak panels and the result was this
On one of my previous post I've shown you the F3nix headset holder, some of you asked to see a picture of it with the headset in place and here it is, hope you like it
I've also started assembly of the internal and external panels and the below pictures illustrate pretty much where I am with the build at the moment...
Spot the F3nix
Hope you like the update and will be back soon with some more.

Wow this is really starting to come together! You should probably start manufacturing some of these parts, they are awesome!
Can't remember seeing a build since joining with so much production involved... pretty much everything is self built! Did you design/make those headset stands as well? As Skaif says, you should look at making some of these parts for resale. Awesome work!
Thanks Skaif. Cable combs and headset holder are available.
Yeah Luggs, it's truly a scratch build mate. Headset holder was designed by me and is available, like the cable combs. Thanks a lot

Fantastic stuff! Good for you, when I start my scratch build I am deffo commissioning you for bits n pieces!

This is just mental, maybe if we have loads of money you could build one for us?

This is amazing! Have you done something like this before?

As they say: Money talks
First build mate. It's been a huge learning curve

What a build log thus far. You've got skills F3nix.
Thanks The Militant. Hopefully next ones will be better. Learning curve on everything including build log
Looks like you've been doing it for year mate, perfection
& I know your also a hard worker in your normal day job
so what you managed to do in the little spare time you have
is AMAZING!
plus the little extra thing your sorting for me
Thanks Rob. Slowly but surely. Really wish I had more free time bit got to be happy with what I have. Luckily my family supports me which makes me keep at it. Not long to the end now
