and here while its on







 
 

If you were going for a pure and simple mod, with elegance and class for the more mature gamer, you nailed it!

Thanks a lot everyone, really appreciate it! 

First of all thanks for all the votes and nice messages, really appreciate it!   

Because a lot of people seem to like white lighting too I made some extra photos.           I'm back to the promised video   

I want to thank everyone for following this project!
For me personally it was quite a challenge.
First of all because of the available free time I had next to my job and family.
But specially to create a 'Desk PC' below $400 of material. (2xP5 + tools + glass + mounting)
All this with standard tools like a jigsaw, drill, ironsaw, file and sandpaper.
 
So here's my contribution to the Thermaltake CaseMOD Invitational 2016 Season 1
 
 

 

 











 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
Finally I had 20 minutes to enjoy DOOM
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
A huge thanks goes out to all followers, sponsors and off course Thermaltake for making all this possible!
 

 
ps. Should I make a little video too?

Thanks again every one of you! 
 
The gif was just to show what I'm busy on, video will be there in one or 2 days
 
For new visitors .. click this image for full photo shoot please.
 

Think you will need my vote Peter!
It's so close, curious who will win!

Peter Brans

Peter Brands all the way. Great submissions from everyone, but Peter's just takes it to a whole new level imo.

My Vote goes to Peter, but I also love the work from Mike and Laurent 😊

More drilling, cutting, filing and sanding.
 
 

 
 
Came up with an little idea to bring 12V for fans, pump and lighting to the right side of the desk. 
 

 
 
Picked up the laminated glas panel for the Tt d3sk.
 

 
 
Also picked up something awesome to complete this desk setup
 

 
 
Back to the 'powerbar'
 

 
 
2 molex lines directly from PSU to the right side.
 

 
 
Some wire management inside the P5
 

 
 
Test
 

 

 
 
Shortening the massive steel poles which will hold the glass panel.
 

 
 
I just found out where my safety glasses were
 

 
 
Few to go.
 

 
 
Going to test the hardware without liquidcooling. Very excited!
 

 

 
 
I never thought about the ROG logo from the Asus PG348 ... normally it shines ON your desk ... 
I like the effect!
 

Thanks bud!
 
I planned the whole weekend for measuring, cutting, drilling, filing, sanding etc
 

 

 

 

 
 
Ahh yes .. what I've been waiting for!
 

 
 
One arm should be able to hold 63kg.
 

 
 
Not much left of the internals.
 

 
 
Bottom shot
 

 
 
So lets cut! (tried the dremel once again .. screw that)
 

 

 

 

 
 
Cover plate for right side of the desk where normally the mainboard goes
 

 

 

 
 
More filing needed
 

 
 
And holes
 

 
 
Also countersinking the PSU
 

 

 

 

 
 
Sorry, I don't like stickers ^^
 

 
 
Rads also more inside
 

 
 
More holes, drilling and sanding.
 

 
 
Just had to test the fans
 

 

Lets kick off with the first big update
 

 
 
Unpacking .. Awesome!
 

 
 
The P5's
 

 
 
480 Rads
 

 
 
Plenty of pump power.
 

 

 
 
Reservoirs
 

 
 
Lots of fans.
 

 
 
Cpu and Strix blocks
 

 
 
Not sure yet if and how much I will use it, but a bending kit
 

 
 
It will be a mixture of PETG and nickelplated brass
 

 
 
All unpacked
 

 

 

 

 
 
So shiny!
 

 
 
The gaming gear! Off course needed to complete a desk.
 

 
 
First steps, mounting the fans.
 

 
 
And sleeving the pumps.
 

 
 
Just trying to imagine myself how it would look.
 

 

 
 
Sawing mounting rails for the desk
 

 
 
Will be using regular shelve holders to mount the desk to the wall
 

 
 
The idea
 

 
 
More next time
 

It's very nice bro! Keep up the good work!   

The loop. Finally!
 
First some pads underneath the GPU's
 

 
 
And the first fittings and pipe
 

 

 
 
Works like a charm
 

 

 

 
 
Should become something like this.
 

 
 
But still lots to do.
