Project Ultima [Build log]
- Thread starter IMCustoms
- Start date
Like I said 
Thanks, but I will have to make them thinner, cause by calculations of these from the drawing, they would hold about 6L of water each, and that is way too much

have you decided what colour fluids you're going to use?
it's got to be black and white surely haha

@jimbaw, The colors will be just like in the drawing.. So green and orange, I just haven't decided will I use pastel, regular or UV... It will be green - cause of Gigabyte Sniper board, and orange - cause EK was the first sponsor to confirm their sponsorship and I will use most of their block, pumps and rads, so it will be as a tribute to them, and it will of course look nice next to green
@colinmcr, Thanks, they are just superb
And a little update, I will start posting pics of woodwork tomorrow

Love the design, very well thought through! Great job
Thanks guys !
And finally lets start with actual work on the build
The build idea started when I decided to take apart some excess furniture from plywood, and I realized that I have enough to build a crazy system I always dreamed off... So, there were 2 ideas in my head, desk or wall-mount?
Both ideas were good and with rads on the other side of the wall, but at the end I decided not to go with desk idea just because of "leg space problem" (cause I'm tall and I need my leg room) and difficulty of draining (cause I often change components and draining the desk is very difficult in regard to a wall-mount, where you can see from my plans how I handled it).
So, lets go... These are roughly cut boards to size by my friends at Total Design Bor
Leftovers
And then came the assembly of frames, motherboard panel and the desk part itself
And the rest of boards that are waiting to be drilled and assembled

Well, some pics got lost when I updated them, so here they are now
This is the cover for power cords extensions, 3 of 4 vertical panels and cable cover (behind the monitor):

That's not me, it's a worker in a shop I went to get this panels cut, and that's word for word exactly what I said to him
Thanks

Welcome back !
The renderings look amazing ! Really wish i had the skill / programs / patience and knowledge to get renderings done for my project.
Thanks, I actually did't have "the skill" for it, and I tried to find someone to draw it out for me.. But, none of people I encountered wanted to do such a simple and time consuming task, so I had to learn to do it myself
Sketchup is pretty easy program for beginners, and with a few tutorials from youtube, I managed to make this in it's raw form in just under a week! All the other measurement, color, curves, and much more corrections came a bit later with a bit more youtube tutorials
