My Gold --- update: Light effects

[The Orange One]

Very Nice. Any Idea how much more time is needed for it to be finished?

 

[yassarikhan786]

Thanks.

Already used one Vertex for 6-8months and it has been top notch, 100% stable and also among the top performance wise. Theres no manufacturer in the marked who didnt have an issue with their ssd's due to bad batches/firmware. Even Intel had SSD's dying, and they have the most reliable ones. I have used and owned Intel/corsair ssd's who died but i never talked badly about them or recomended people not to buy there products. The reason for me not flaming the producers is that all products can die or end up faulty. Its just the way it is

That's good to hear. It's just that on nearly every topic about SSD's people always say "avoid OCZ" or words to that effect. I haven't used an OCZ drive so I have nothing good or bad to say about them. But as you said you've had good experiences with OCZ drives so there was no reason for you not to buy them. Anyway I don't want to keep going off topic so I'll just say MOAR Pics, lol.

This build looks so awesome, it's just...

As for the OCZ SSD's, i actually like their SSDs, i think they're great. I've heard bad things about their older SSD's but the new ones like the Vertex and Agility 3's i haven't heard much negativity about them at all, and the Vertex 4 is meant to be great too. It's their PSU's i tell people to stay away from, but imo their SSD's are perfectly fine, plus they look pretty good too

Im waiting for the hardened glassplate. As soon as i got that one i can really start to throw components inside. It should be here soon, as it is almost 3 weeks since i ordered it.

I know that OCZ had some firmware trouble a while back, but every brand has that from time to time.

Moar pics will come soon. Im hoping to get some mdpc stuff really soon(tomorrow), so more detailwork on sata/24-pin/8pin/pcie 6-pinns.

Thanks. I agree with that.

The way you have the drives mounted. I like it.

Nice that you like it. Both hdd cages will be filled up with 2x Vertex, 2 x 1,5tb greens and 2x F3 1tb. I was going to make some cool acrylic mounting plates for the ssd's but i couldnt agree with myself on where to put them or the design. I might experiment some with that later when it is up and running.

Awesdome build..Wish i had half the skill and all the $$$ it cost =) Keep up the good work, can't wait to see it finished.

They would look amazing. Especially if you could make them look like they were floating.

They could look good yes. Maybe when its done and i get more time i'l fiddle around with that. Was planing to make some nice pieces and then try to heat/bend them.

Checked my mail box but no package arrived yet. Was hoping i could sleeve some sata cables today, but i guess i must find something else to do.

50 min ago i got a phonecall from the local glass-master telling me that the hardened plate i ordered had arrived. Rushed into my car and got it home. Il clean the housing now and start to get some hardware inside. Many more updates to come

This piece cost 85£. Need to clean it properly. Only wiped off the top surface.

Time for some cake.

WoW the hardened glass looks epic. The exterior looks brilliant now

I guess soon its time to fill the desk with some hardware

Is the glass going to be mounted on hinges so it can lift up when you require access to the internal components?

Hmm, now i have to go shopping and buy me some fruit cake

Yeah im really happy with it, it looks great, easy to clean and its also very strong. There will be no henges on this plate, so il just lift it away whenever i need to do anything on the inside. The glass is very heavy and it doesnt move because of the rubber gaskets.

Going to clean the housing on the inside tonight and start to fill it up with components. Im exited as hell

Awesome, im excited to see some pics soon

 

[PEXON]

Dude, just wow. That glass panel was only £85, awesome! I can't wait to see this finished, looks like you are nearly there, looks like you are trying to make it nice and clean like mine.

OCD FTW! Cake looks tasty too. Keep up the good work dude.

 

[Solidarity]

The glass is so reflective. It looks great.

 

[SPS]

This is easily one of the smartest compudesks I have seen

 

[Grim_Reaper]

Sweet!

Amazing work, Sir! It's a joy for eyes.

 

[mrjuggles]

Sweeeeeet!

That piece of glass was much cheaper than I expected, I can't wait to see some components under there!

So glad to finally see this project near completion.

Keep it up!

 

[yassarikhan786]

Looks phenomenal. I love how you captured your daughters photo in the reflection of the glass plate

. Can't wait for the next update

How are your ribs by the way?

 

[Azurite]

Thanks all. Ive been visiing a friend tonight so i havent done mutch, but im gonna clean the housing now and start to fill it up with goodies.

Yassir: ribs still hurt like hell. Im taking piankillers most of the day. Right now im having some nice redvine to ease the pain
