will do one in more detail later, but for now its in bits as im working on wires, loop & redoing the side panels (internal)
Thanks Brian, I knew what I wanted to happen with the lift but wasn't sure how I was going to do it for months lol
great mod but is sad that a mouse had it life taking way
Dont worry mate!
what happened was, I sent my modded mouse cover to last years I53 show for Coolermaster
to show on the stand, when they sent it back to me they attached it to a display mouse that didn't work for what ever reason.
so iv just had the spare mouse in a draw for the past year lol
still got my original mouse & plan to re-mod it to match the new desk

I could only dream to be good with DIY/creative enough to make a build even 1/3 as cool as this haha...damn..Im still thinking what to do with my ethoo pro
thanks Lawrence
Had to google that case, looks nice, I like the side if its the one with double window.
some nicely placed lighting will give a nice effect.
yeah just seen your comment
Thanks
going to try get another update on today, my 40th tomorrow so wont be doing any modding or posting, well I will try resist lol
GPU block fitted & now installed, have a couple of ideas for the loop at this point,
will show the results as soon as im done testing them out
GPU backplate
This one is going on the top/side of the card & will be RGB.
Thanks all for now, getting excited now that i can see the finish line

Looks great man and happy birthday, enjoy the big 4 0!
Thanks,
Not this time, most are done by laser to save time & have a more pro look
im not that good with a multi tool yet lol
Thanks Brian, just chilled @ home with friends & family, still on my crutches so i hate going out
Will do mate, thanks
reworked a couple of things as I was waiting for some items to arrive,
redone the cable a bit better & in a brighter red than the 1st attempt..
Wasn't happy with the 1st carbon ASUS logos so iv also redone them, done them the same as the Deblow logo,
used laser cut logos & cut the leather & wood backing to match & blend.

Saw this at the start, just got the idea myself to want to make one of these and got linked back here
Looks difficult and, skills and LOTS of time are needed, both of which, in the last year of school (GCSE year
) are pretty much gonna be non existent... Maybe a few years i shall give it a bash 
What would your advice be to start off with? Maybe not as extravagant as yours, but something that still carries that WOW factor, I love the look of this, but will have to start my apprenticeship and start full-time before i can think about it
Looks awesome though and cant wait for the final product haha, bet you and a hundred others cant either!

I did my 1st desk back in 2001, it was very basic but still was a great feeling to know I made it, I did one more
with extra bling in 2013.
( big gap = work, collage & a wife)
I started of with what im conformable with & could afford to do.
skills improved & my ideas have gotten bigger & bigger, this by far is the hardest thing I have
built for myself, but the reward at the end makes it worth all the effort & time.
GCSE's are so very important & I wish I listen more at school lol
so yeah, get them out the way 1st & start of small & easy, you can always add to the build
later or start a new one like I did
good luck with you GCSE's!
msg me when/if you need any advice, via FB is best if you have it.
Nice update! That logo looks sweet
Thanks everyone
glad you like the logo, I changed it about 4 times in total, took me ages to
get it how I wanted lol
did you notice the other versions? well, I will post them again at some point
to show how some things changed.
glad its soon over
Played around with a couple of loop options, 1st was the standard CPU > GPU1 > GPU2
then I tested how it performs going from CPU> GPU1 & 2
My temp on GPU 2 was slightly better & it looked cooler so im sticking with that option
Im still getting temps around 3c to 5c hotter on my GPU2 compared to GPU1.
could be I need to redo the paste again or tighten the plate up a bit more
will mess with it a bit more if the temp on GPU hits 60c or more when hardcore gaming.
Used lots of bog roll lol
Also completed the Alphacool logo, RGB controlled, so far I like RED & BLUE, hard to get some good pics of the reds though
Replaced the 2 fan controllers for 1 duel bay, Phobya MaxGuide 6
The new controller has 6 temp monitors,
I plan to just use 3 for now, room temp, desk temp & GPU backplate temp
