Just a quick update to say I’ve ordered some cabinets and will doing a worktop job... thanks for the inspiration

Looking forward to seeing the results, make sure you post a wee pic here! Happy to have inspired If you want any close up pics of any particular parts of the desk build let me know!

that is a fancy room but I think you need another 4 computer setups in there so you can have a little lan party ! looks like there is room !

i love the icue lighting too

LAN parties of old, I miss those. Every saturday / sunday mates would be over when we were kids, quake, warcraft 2, diablo, red alert, x-wing vs tie fighter..... oh man the memories!

Evga adapter on asus card is blasphemy .

I like to rock the boat - however the card is now a 3090 (see more recent posts in this thread) and so no EVGA adapter anymore!

It's clear you've put a lot of time/effort/money into this!

What mount did you use for the monitor? Did you have to get a sparky to install power socket behind it? Is there a gap between desk and wall and hence Hue strips shining through?

Many thanks.

Just seen your comment now Alex. Monitor mount is just a cheapo one from the rainforest.... nothing fancy. And yup sparky added a power socket in behind the wall as I had hidden the cables, but it's obviously not cool to put a power cable back behind there

Re the hue strips, they are just stuck onto the back of the desk 'top' - there's a 1" gap all the way around.

Also rig update....

full watercooling all ordered up - annoyingly one part is on back order so patiently waiting for OCUK to get it and send it out

Just completed some more upgrades - full watercooling this time! Uploading all the pics now, first time having done this, some parts are scary lol

Mostly Corsair components, and an Alphacool GPU block for the 3090 FE.

Here we go:

And, other than some cable tidying and getting some more blanking plates so you can't see through the rear, I think it's done!
