My mod

USFORCES · 11-04-2009, 07:16 PM

Someone on another forum suggested you guys might want to see my mod.

I made this plan about a year ago and just decided to go through with it a week ago.

Before

After

It's oak even though it kind of looks like pine in the photo...

Thanks for looking!

Now that is a sick desk mod

I like that you kept the motherboard section nice and simple yet with a complex setup. The duel reservoirs on the bottom look awesome. I am kinda surprised the ambient temps on your board are low considering there are no fans on the upper level of the desk. 10/10 from me bro! Welcome to TPU!

CHAOS_KILLA · 11-05-2009, 11:12 PM

Holy shit yeah, thats awesome dude, can i have please! i'll be ur best friend! lol 20/10 u get double the score for being creative.

(FIH) The Don · 11-05-2009, 11:30 PM

if you wanna hide the lights a little how about putting a piece of wood over it, so you cant see it from the top, and one in each side?

Chicken Patty · 11-05-2009, 11:47 PM

10/10, holy shit!

USFORCES · 11-06-2009, 08:11 AM

Yeah the temps are better than I thought they would be also, guess with the six 120's sucking fresh air in did it, you can feel a pretty good breeze blowing out the crack around the glass in the front door, also the wood door forces the air to have to go through the holes under the motherboard, Guess I'm just lucky it turned out like it did because I didn't do any high tech air flow testing, LOL

I tried that because I had a bright green cathode there first before the UV and was so bright I covered it but the wood didn't look right there anyhow I have LED strips coming in the mail tomorrow and they should look better also the light is more focused. I made a few LED's and didn't know how much better they were compared to cathodes.

Thanks
