not my cup of tea but the workmanship looks really impressive, nice work 
So bit of an update...
Did some work yesterday afternoon.
Decided to take apart the radiators and spray the shells white.
So shells without the cores:
End bits sanded down:
Sanding away:
Ends and shells all sanded down.
Looks quite nice with the silver edges
Did a coat of primer, but it was very windy so had some bubbles and some thick bits. So decided to sand it down again.
Primer sprayed in garage = no wind!
Looking better:
Liking it in white!
Started to do some more work on the desk:
All standing:
Back is on, hiding the insides away:
Looks nice with the back on:
Inside lip cut down, and from the inside with the back on:
Cutting the draws down to fit the new design:
Showing what it looks like from under the floor looking up the desk's skirt.
Guess the back really does cover it nicely, you can just start to see the insides:
Back for where the UPS will be standing upright:
Back board joining onto desk:
Draws being fitted, checking size and spacing:
Back to do another coat of primer:
After its dried for awhile:
Looks really nice in white:
Sexy!
Some Moar:
Quite like it with the grainy look, of the black still slightly coming through:
Now, I just need to let the primer fully dry, and then I will spray it Matt White.
Did a stain on a cut off piece of wood to check it matches my TV Unit at home. (I can report it is almost a perfect match)

+1. Totally agree, should be proud mate.
Oh man do I have an update for you guys.
My mobo trays are finally cut and ready
I will get them within the next few days, but these are the pics from the creator
Also remember that Cube will be a server and a half height machine, and Ethos will be for my gaming so slightly larger to accommodate bigger that ATX size, eg the Rampage series of boards.
And lastly its just a test fitting with a dummy board.
*Warning, there are a lot of pics*

this, this, is what brilliance should be! The craftsmanship of both the desk and the mobo tray are superior. I like the fact that you even list the joints used! What made you decide on such joint? I'm guessing for strength?
