Finally, another update!
The project isn't dead, I've been doing a lot of work in the past few days!
I changed the plans a little bit. Instead of mounting everything directly on the desk, I'll mount the stuff onto another plate of glass which I'm going to put in the desk
That keeps the desk a bit independent, and if I have to move it some time later, this will make it a lot easier...
I started with building a case. Here is all the stuff I used:
Measuring, slowly starting to get somewhere:
Back panel and side panels done:
And the front:
The white stuff is velcro, so that I can take off the front panel to access the hardware. It doesen't look very nice, but I'm going to hide it later on!
Marking the parts where I need to cut:
Done!
Motherboard riveted in place:
Yep, that fits!
Fan in place (I love those fans!)
Reservoir also in place:
I actually had to redo the pipe from the GPU to the res, mostly because it was too long so I didn't have enough space for the HDD cage, but also because it was a bit collapsed.. the new one looks perfect
Placed it on my desk:
Then I mounted the PSU and the HDD cage:
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel...
Still to do:
-Tidy up those cables a bit
-Connect the case with the rad/pump
-Fill the loop
-Install the lightning
I hope to finish this one soon!
Thanks for watching & stay tuned
