Project - Alternate (Custom PC Desk Build)
- Thread starter Deblow
- Start date
With the arrival of the reservoirs last week & now the pumps I can workout the internal setup.
over the last week iv added some internal walls & removable bases, installed the 2X reservoirs,
radiators & soon i will have the pumps in place.
When im happy with the layout it will then all be removed before painting/wrapping.
after that's completed it will then be time to move the desk inside so i can work on the tubing & wiring.
Oh, also went with position 2 for the front panel & edged the front of the desktop.
The next 3 photos show the cover thats now in place to hide the leg cutout.
Some of the base covers in place, & a better view of the leg cover
Cut a fan hole for the V1200 PSU, but not sure im having it in this position now?
The Phobya 450 reservoirs, used them on my 2013 build, decided to stick with them again
Using the provided brackets to fit them under the top shelf, will wrap or paint them at later date.
Covered them with some masking tape so as not to scratch them
A final pic for you, looks almost complete here, but still lots of work to be done

Well, your not the 1st to say this, also now you mention it, have you noticed the white foam head in my photos?

Im using 2x 360 RADs for this build, they will be fitted to the brackets almost directly under the RES on both sides, Iv decided to move them away from the outer desk edges to help lower fan noise & give better options for dust control.
by doing so I had to add the channels shown in the earlier photos, to help move the hot air out the back of the desk.
The Phobya G-Changer 360 RADs V.2 & brackets
As with all new RADs they needed a good clean, using the Blitz Pro kit that Mayhams kindly provided I had good results
Im using the i7-5820K for this build along with a Alphacool NexXxoS XP³ Light - Brass Black Chrome version,
Added some red to the block
The pumps "Alphacool VPP655" & GPU block "Alphacool NexXxoS GPX - ATI R9 295X2"
also planing to mod them slightly to the same red as the other components.
Now decided where im sticking the 2X pumps, sticking with the symmetrical plans iv placed them
in front of the center of both the RADs
Cut a hole in the bottom to help them get some air, if for any reason they sound loud I will block them again, but did this
on my last desk & they worked fine.
Padded the sides with hard foam to help reduce any vibrations
Adding 2x Phobya G1/4 water temp readers to measure the temps before & after the RADs/Components
Here you can see the removable raised platforms, RADs, Pumps & Temp sensors on place

Thanks Tripp., been mentioned a couple of times about the red & black,
Im coming from a RGB setup with clear water & UV green tubes.
I like the look of that but on a night time I was always switching to red, just feels more
relaxing & less of a distraction,
I do the same with my TV backlighting
A red build is something new for me, over the last 20+ years iv never had a red build..
might change it at a later date should i get bored of it though lol
I now have the final fans needed for the RADs & desk,
Silencio FP 120 (Black) RADs
MegaFlow 200mm (Red LED) Desk
Jetflo 120 (Red LED) Desk
Im going to be cutting holes in the base of the MB tray & instaling the 200mm fan directly underneath,
This serves 2 purposes, keep the MB cool & the main reason was to get positive air pressure in to the desk.
In total I will be having 6/7x120mm & 1x200mm IN, 6x120mm OUT.
I will try get this done by the weekend and show you some pics, but for now heres some other bits iv been working on.
Hinges fitted, but will need some adjusting before painting..
Lifts up perfectly, resting flat against the angled shelf & speakers

That look like a beast can't wait to see it fire and take off with curved screens. Most excited.
LOOK ALL THE FLASHING LIGHTS!!!!!
LOOK ALL THE FLASHING LIGHTS!!!!!
Got a 4K screen for the build, 32", its been a very hard decision to make as far as screens go,
but im 100% happy i went with 4K, games look bloody amazing, especially GTA5 & Skyrim.
maybe in the future I will have a 4K curved 40" or 3x 4k
BTW, how you know about the lights? Who's been talking? lol
That's gonna cause a warp in the space time continuum if you're not careful.
Thats a good thing rite?
