Loading ...Latest Pics: She got her glass top Whoop !!!!
crazybuddhist
Appologies for the fact that this is nothing like a proper worklog. I have just spent two months in Hospital and before that and in the month since … bits of tinkering .. but no energy to really take all the photo’s and write this up. It’s something I will do when I have my health back. But here are some photo’s of my baby with her new glass top. Still have to do some serious cable management, a little bit of cabinet work and get the hinges fitted, yet she goes from strength to strength. There is also a plan to fit a 5TB media server and an IPCOP firewall in the back of deskpooter. She’s going to end up being a cluster lol
Let there be light !!!!!
I am building a mitred frame to create a fixed width wooden base on which the glass will rest and be hinged. Also looking for some kind of electronic activator arm to open the lid and some of the glass is going to be fake sandblasted with that stick on plastic stuff to hide the ugly parts. Plus I have realised I want the inside of the drawer and all the grey metal painted black so things are really, nearly, invisible til the lights come on.
So … whadyathink?? 
Looks cool!
Cheers mucka !!
Ver’ nice work. I especially like the glass top, it didn’t quite look right when it was all wood, the fan on the front seemed distracting (though necessary, I’m sure)
thx Aranthos
There are four fans blowing two in two out plus one 92mm Zalman on the noctua cpu cooler and one on the thermaltake northbridge cooler. The GPU is fanless but has a 92mm noctua blowing cold air in on it. A 120mm Noctua takes the hot air from the Zalman on the CPU and blows it right out the side. The fan on the front blows cool air in and round the hdd and cd drives. The PSU has a 200mm fan blowing hot air out. CPU is 30C av - even at an overclock at 2575Mhz (2.2Ghz stock). All the fans are silent or near silent and I haven’t sealed the glass with the rubber seal yet. Been away in France for three months. Back to work. I’ve had an offer on this machine worthy of consideration. Needs finishin.
