So time for an update:
I have been pretty bad at keeping this updated so I might have to show some "reverse engineering" later.
Below two small holes were cut for my drain ports. However I then opted for a single loop so one is somewhat redundant.
Radiators fitted in place and attached with some Phobya Rad holders. Tubing was a quick makeshift loop to connect everything.
So here you can see my intentions of the drain ports.
And also a shot from below the desk.
Next stages you see are not the final design but more a case of placeholders so I can get a good idea of how this will all pan out. If I like it, I'll keep it as it is. So the real fun part begins now and also the PITA part. Trying to cut the mobo tray and align the mobo screws was a nightmare for me. Also needed to carefully cut holes to allow for USB connectivity, sata etc. Sadly due to the size of the mobo tray the scroll saw i have was not really ideal.
Cut a shroud for the inside of the 120mm Fans
quick test fit to get things lined up.
Now here is where I skipped quite alot. The reasoning behind this is what you see that follows is NOT the finished product. One reason is because I hadnt decided on the end result yet. Second is that I wanted to test the CPU and Mobo to make sure that everything worked correctly. Nothing is worse than having to tear down an entire rigid loop.
Sorry for the poor quality pictures here. I purchased a camera and macro lense and as you can see, I have no skill yet with these. Previous pictures have been done with an embarassing iPad.
I seriously screwed up in the image above too. Routed out the hole for the top of the desk, tripped, fell on my ass and cracked the weakest point on the desk FML. Will have to replace that for the final build.
The plan here is to add a 480 fan grill and have this as the intake.
Can't believe how lucky I was with the glass piece. I found it abandoned outside and hadn't been smash by vandals yet. It was the perfect size for the desk as I didnt one a full glass top. I want to keep the warm feeling of pine wood. You can also see the cracked wood more clearly which really is a shame.
The routing around the edge of the glass does look a little rough but this was a quick fit. I haven't cleaned up anything yet.
Anyone want to buy the Lamptron controller

I have a nice sexy new Aquaaero 6 XT on the way so this will go to waste.
And now for some night shots. The interior is still not complete but I wanted to get a good idea of how I should plan the lighting. Just for the record, the LED UV strip I bought from Lamptron is horrible. Started off bright but has become dim in literally 7 days. Most of the light here come from the Bitspower LEDs in the pumptops
And that is it for now. I'll get some practise going with the camera, and next stage is to tear down the desk to finish it properly. I have some improvements in mind, and also more parts on the way for the water cooling.
Stay tuned...
