Build log introduction
 
About the modder and build.
 
Welcome, my name is Ian Duncanson i am a 26 year old modder from victoria Australia i have been building and working on computers since i was 15. This is my third fully custom pc and one i wish to showcase, so lets begin.
 
The concept -
 
Simply with the age of ikea and the ability to customise along side the rise of the desk builds i have decided to design and build a desk based upon one of my favorite cases the thermaltake core x9. Now having built a previous desk before i know to an extent whats needed (my original build was a rush job so i had somewhere to play games and best utilise the limited space i had). The necessary goals to a great desk concept are outlined below and are my goals for this build.
 
Another note about me, im not the best when i comes to 3d drawing and renders so i do the majority by hand its never great but it give me what i need to work with.
 
this space is reserved for our sponsors starting with:
 

Thermaltake, without the faith that quite a few of their staff have put in me none of this would be possible. they have and will be supplying me with cases fans/controllers and watercooling gear
 
 
Goals:
 
- Fully modular desk solution
- core values (moddable, versatile, astetically pleaseing)
-light weight but strong.
 
Design-
 
The design is simple, 5 modules (2 x core x9 cases with 3 custom modules forming a desktop) the desk will be constructed out of aluminium and parts of a (few) damaged core x9's the custom parts will he powdercoated white to closely match the original cases.
 
Heres a couple of those sketchy drawings i mentioned disregard the measurements these changed many times upon realising i had inadvertantly rushed my measurements.
 

 

 
So we will be begining the construction and finalise the design on the fly. An old war saying is that every plan is a good one till the first bullet flies.
 
But first a very big thank you to some of my friends for the community, the support you have shown even at the early stages has been phenomenal and for that i thank you.
 
My first order arrived from thermaltake australia the other day i posted an unboxing ceremony on my facebook page (http://facebook.com/ianduncansoncomputermods)
So i will skip this one as im sure you have all seen this beautiful case before.
 
Ok so maybe one or 2 photos
 

 

 
 
Now as much as i love the front grill design for what im doing its too hard to have replicated locally i was quoted over 300 dollars for material and cutting for a full sheet and i only need less than half of one :/
 
So another popular idea occured i will still have the front panel as a whole just not the mesh... so instead i have started to organise some dark tint perspex to be delivered for the build. But im getting ahead of myself.. but more to come soon

I've just been running some tests in the lab.

Guess you should make more wishes! haha

Look what just showed up in the mail today! New Ventus mouse from the Christmas game you guys had.  Got to hook it up and try it out against my Level 10.

1) The LED are not included so you may choose any colour you like.
2) Yes, you have up to 420mm of room for fan and radiator configurations in the top. 
3) The Core V51 comes with 3x fans as standard, 2x 120mm front intake and 1x rear 120mm exhaust
 
(Please note I don't work for Thermaltake, just have one of the cases and like to help out) 

Alrighty thanks then!

1) Is it possible to change the power LED to red...?
2) If I install a Water 3.0 Extreme to the top, will there be enough space for a third 120mm fan?
3) How many fans does the case come with?

Yes, even with Water 3.0 Ultimate installed you would be able to make use of both 5.25" drive bays if need be. 

Yes, should be ready after 2015 CES!

Store bought PC's are mostly overpriced in my opinion! Fact is, it really is not that hard to build your own especially with how easy it is to access the internet these days You all know the saying, if you want it done right, do it yourself! 

Hi, Phraktur3
 
Tt eSPORTS is going to have see-through metal key caps coming soon, please stay tuned.  

Metal caps(38 Key set)

Can v51 support DVD drive with Water 3.0 Ultimate installed? Still enough space to install it? 

It's all about CRONOS including kids~
