L3p got a reaction from eddiegm247 in [Netherlands] Peter Brands
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?

Looks awesome, I think my favourite part might still be the happy accident with the light on the floor!

Hi guys, I would like to thank Thermaltake and all the sponsors for inviting me to this competition and making this project possible. It's been challenging at times, I was hit with many delays, but got there in the end!
The finished build photos are below. I'll also post a loop fill video as soon as I finish editing it!
I hope you like what I created - Project p5yche, a twin Core P5 mod.

To steal a phrase from Mike Petereyns... #modmarathon
Last day to work, and boy do I have some pictures coming after today.
For now... enjoy the wood.
It's the little things.... the white on the stock SATA cables clashed horribly....

Small extra before the final post.
Found some plexi from a previous project which will come to good use
Sawing, sanding and polishing.
And done

Finally the last fittings also arrived.
So I could finish the last part of the loop.
And testing if everything still works ..
Time to fill it up
Always exciting
Not a single leak
Next thing is also very exciting ... is the hardware still working?
Awesome when you see on first boot "CPU Fan speed error detected"
That's good
And so the glass panel goes up
Chair also fits perfectly
One last small update and then ... final pics!

And another update!
Almost used all the fittings.
But glad some extra are on the way.
So first some more cable management.
So also the Displayport, keyboard and mouse cable.
Done!
Checking if everything still works.
Also received a flowmeter to check out.
Funny mirroring seen from bottom.
I guess white isn't too bad either.

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.

Time to mount the blocks!
I always love these
2 hours later.
I'm working with several controllers for fans and lighting and want to have them in groups.
Fans - Top lighting - Bottom lighting
Need multiple cables and extensions from side to side through the 'powerbar'
Like this
Also want some cable managements, all extra cable out of sight in the P5
Done!

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!

L3p got a reaction from Eclecticos in [Netherlands] Peter Brands
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
-
L3p got a reaction from Ajames in [Netherlands] Peter Brands
The hardware!
Best looking mainbaord ever.
The power.
Avexir memory
Lovely ssd.
GPU power.
More power
Some shots together.
Cleaned up the modcave where it's all going to happen.
Time for some modding!

L3p got a reaction from Eclecticos in [Netherlands] Peter Brands
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

Hi everyone!
Let me first introduce myself
I’m Peter Brands, 35 years young and from a little town in the middle of The Netherlands called Urk.
I’m an electrician, and mostly active on trawlers, vessels and luxury yachts.
I’ve been an online gamer and hardware enthusiast since 1995 where I got my online nick ‘L3p’ and started modding in 2009.
Some might know me from my desk-pc builds ‘L3p D3sk’ and 'Cross Desk' or scratch build ‘L3pipe’.
I have to admit I'm not really a competitive casemodder, more a passionate liquidcooling enthusiast.
But with the Tt P5 and the idea I have as you can see in the banner I just couldn't resist
Click here for the final photos!
Specs:
Intel Core i7-6700K
Asus Maximus VIII Formula
Asus Geforce GTX980 Strix (2x)
Asus ROG Swift PG348Q 34" 100Hz
Avexir Red Tesla 2666Mhz 16GB
Samsung 950 Pro 256GB M.2
Thermaltake Core P5 (2x)
Thermaltake DPS G RGB 1250W Ti
Thermaltake Fully Liquidcooled
Gear:
Tt eSports Poseidon Z Keyboard
Tt eSports Theron Plus Mouse
Tt eSports Shock 3D Headset
Tt eSports Dasher Mini 2016
Tt eSports Battle Dragon Backpack
Tt Luxa² Holder Solution E-One
Speedseats Sport version White
Goodluck to everyone and I hope you enjoy the buildlog!

L3p reacted to Designs By IFR in [Australia] Corey Gregory
Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates the past few days, been so busy working every day until midnight to get this PC complete so i hope you all understand. I have the footage recorded so i will eventually get it done. But for now here is a sneak picture of where i am at. I used a pencil to draw up the panel lines then etched the whole thing top and bottom with the dremel and it took a #### tonne of time but well worth it.

#### this is amazing! I hope you win, this is a gorgeous build and you can keep an eye on those components very easily! Very thoughtful design.

L3p reacted to Jos214demi in [Netherlands] Peter Brands
This is really great man! Imagine sitting in front of that thing! it's like you are a captain of a Battleship! Just a tip - Connect 2 more monitors there and it will look like you are in heaven!!! Awesome Mod!
