Deblow Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae110/Rob_Amar_De_Luce/MEGA%20DEBLOW%20FINAL/0e6a56cc-db32-4db7-9655-8e147ce0dfd1_zpsdc9dd1e5.jpg~original Hi everyone, My name is Rob, I'm new to forum posting in general so i hope i can make a good job of this, my first ever build/Log attempt. I had some ideas that i put to paper, but most of the ideas were changed over time as i encountered problems, I will add some pictures of the design on the forum, Not the best artwork i admit, so i hope they make some sense For most of the build i used my phone to take the pictures for reference, as half my project was in the shed and the other half was in the house and as i have a broken leg it was very hard to move around with the parts to check they were correct. I will add as much info as possible, if i miss anything please just ask and i will do my best to answer asap. Reason for build - - More desktop space (get shut of the MASSIVE UFO case) - Create better airflow - Make more space for water cooling parts - Have something different & something to do in my spare time I also want to try make the desk as easy to dismantle as possible, so far i have managed to keep the PC its self contained in a easy to remove 930mm X 560mm box. My Build Items Are - CPU - i5 2500k @4.6 MB - Gigabyte G1 Sniper 3 RAM - Avexir Core Extreme Green Series 8GB DDR3 2133MHz GPU - Asus Matrix 7970 platinum - Crossfire HD's - 2X Seagate Barracuda = 6TB, OCZ Vertex 3 =120gb, OCZ Agility 3 =64gb, WD Green =2TB PSU - CoolerMaster v1000 EK supreme CPU block 1155 Socket XSPC 1/2 ID 3/4 OD Tubing UV Green Phobya Balancer 450 Reservoir NZXT Fan Controller x2 12x CoolerMaster jet flow Fans 5x CoolerMaster sickleflow fans Sharkoon Quad Cathode Kit LED Strips x Lots EK-fc970 Matrix Full Cover water block x2 EK-CoolStream RAD XTX (360) x2 EK-D5 Vario X-TOP High-Performance pump facebook link - still needed updating but will be done soon. nice place to just look at the photos. https://www.facebook.com/megadeblow Im still working in the Vids for my youtube, will upload in the next week hopefully https://www.youtube.com/user/MegaDeblow Slideshow Build Log FINAL RESULT - YouTube Vid thanks for reading Rob.

Deblow Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 The reason i went for L shape glass is that i wanted to be able to cover the glass 100% with ease when needed in order to block light and protect. This was the original layout, most has stayed the same but i have changed the RAD & Pump positions and other small changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deblow Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Fans for above the GPUs Whole cut for fans that will be at the right side of the MB blowing over the GPU's and MB, checking the wires are long enough, most were but some had to be extended checking how the switch and carbon look together, the switch will be replaced as soon as the ones i ordered arrive. 1st prototype switch and usb holder 2nd that was used in the final build the whole front was rebuilt and rounded on the corners because it hurts if i catch my knee on the side as i spin my chair pictures will follow later in the build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
