Looking nice there.
Where did you get those silicon rubber washers from ?
I want some for my rad to cut down on noise.Got 6-32 by 1/4 screws.
Still loving the build
Hey man, thanks for the love.
I got them from fleebay, if you do a search for
"Acousti AP-1003W-B Black Anti-Vibration Silicone Washers (pack of 8) Fan Access" you should find them.

I want one myself! This looks awesome
I need a bit of help/advice.
I want to paint the Radiators white, to match my theme.
But they are anodized aluminum.
What would be the best way to paint it?
Sand it down, and then use Etch Primer, then Primer, then White Paint?
I also heard U-Pol Acid8 is pretty good Etch Primer.
Do you know what kind of normal primer and paint I need?

A bit of what we were working on yesterday:
We have to start making the dropdown for desk 2.0.
So pieces cut, and test fitting:
Yup looking pretty good:
All biscuit joints and holding its own
Not looking too shabby:
You can see the legs are cut down slightly.
And also the draw section is up

Some more little updates.
Worked a bit more on the desk.
Close cuts to the legs, to make it more ergonomic.
You can see the drop where the gaming PC will go, and the start of the draw units.
Getting everything fixed up nice and tight.
Some nice fitting screws.
Tools of the trade
Making hole first
Nice shaping
And then screwing in.
End result
Working on the draw units
Fixing it nice and tight
Testing draw fitting, yes technically its upside down but just checking it fits
And another one for good measure
The desk is now the right way up, finally
Will finish off the draws, and get the runners installed and done.
Then back to my house for test fittings of the PC components.
That will be at some point next week hopefully.
