Megadeblow Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 This will be the last update before the final photos just awaiting the keyboard, new screen & Iv also ordered a new DSLR camera. Not planing to change mouse for now, so iv modded the "Reaper" mouse to go with the new theme, Black with red lighting & rather than changing the LEDs (approximately 5) I used filters. stuck with white for the front, red was too dull against the black mouse mat. This is why I need a new camera, the logo & mouse should be a nice red like knight-riders car Added the dye (Mayhems Blood Red) under white lighting its red, other lighting options make it more black looking just like real blood looks at night, I like this effect, but im sure I will test some other dye options at some point as this is the 1st time iv used clear hard tubes. in the back you can see the re-worked fan covers, now flat black with the centres sanded clear to capture light. Hope to be back very soon with the final photos, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadeblow Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 Well after what feels like years, the desk is finally done & photographed for all to see firstly, I think picking RED as my main colour was a mistake! not for me, as it looks fine IRL, but I just cant get the reds to show correct on the photos, So any photos that have what looks like PINK or ORANGE lighting please try imagine that its RED lol because of this problem I decided to take most photos with blue or white lighting on & cut down on the reds used I plan on getting a new camera later so will upload some more if they look any better, For now I have plenty of OK photos for you to look at & a youtube vid will be done over the next couple of weeks. It will be mostly picture links now, so I will say thanks to everyone for the input during my logs & the positive attitudes that help encourage myself & others to keep on building & posting, Thanks to all the people that helped me carry things around due to my leg problem, Carl, Barry, Ian, Andreas & lots more, especially the wife. & all the sponsors that help with the costs of components & support throughout the build. This desk was designed with the hope it would look as good OFF as it would on, so it was all about shapes & natural light, I have very little light in my small room as you will see soon lol. with the shapes came the problem of usability & practicality, i tackled this in a couple of ways, not all perfect but enough to hide/store my clutter & make the desk usable for daily tasks like gaming I know its a bit whack compared to most desks, but I hope you like the final result even if you wouldn't want it in your living-room lets crack on so I can get some sleep!

Megadeblow Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Been a bit busy over the past month, but im back now I recently got the 2 finaly items for the build from Cooler Master, a CM Storm Xornet 2 gaming mouse & Swift RX mat. Cheap mouse! £20 or less... Couple of photos for you to have a look at & iv also uploaded a quick hands on video. also over the past week my new screen has arrived, I liked the 40" 4K screen so much that iv now gone for a 43" 4K. I cant go any bigger than this, as it will cause some neck problems in the long term lol Its a better fit for the desk also, as it now spans the total length of the centre top shelf. More photos on that & other bits later. mouse vid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megadeblow Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 I started to make a video for YouTube & realized I still needed to sort my wires out as the KB & Mouse wires was hanging over the front of the desk. Had a couple of options, go to the sides, back or front going to the sides would mean the mouse & KB would need to be disconnected every time I lift the glass & you could also still see the wires. Same story for the back they would be seen still. Going with the front meant I had to make a hole in the desk But this idea was best, wires cant been seen & the KB & mouse can stay on the desk as the glass lifts high enough to get inside to most the components & clean if needed. The KB will still need to be taken of the desk if I lift the glass all the way back though. Looks cleaner now, just need to touch up with some black paint.

Megadeblow Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 After completing this build iv gone though 4 screens, at the start I still had my 1440p IPS screen but with the new desk I wanted to use some more of that GPU power & go with 3 screens or 1 4K screen. As the bigger 4K screens offer more desktop space & higher resolution I decided to go with that. The 1st screen was a BenQ BL3201PT 4K 32" very nice build quality, but with other screen on the market with the same specs & 10" bigger I decided to try the next step up AMH A409U 4K 40" Its also shown in the main photos uploaded last month so I wont post them again. The screen was great, build quality & menu not as good as the BenQ though, but as its the screen Im most bothered about this monitor was better in my eyes & 8" bigger. Was having some problems with the remote on the AMH, so the seller offered me a Crossover 434 4K 43" instead, cant complain with that Loving the new screen, best of the 3 4K screens iv had so far. As I was swapping screens I took a couple of shots without the screen on the desk... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadeblow Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Been sorting though my videos & decided to not use this clip in the final video im working on, so sharing it now to show how the desk top lifts & the way the wires are running. I did have motor sound but unfortunately I also had some random music in the background that go my vid copyright flagged so you have to make do with some YouTube tunes lol Sorry. https://youtu.be/VHC7qHQnMc0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
