How long would a nice desk take to make with good ol' saw and nails? Also, how much would it cost?
=p

It only takes a few days if you have the tools and know how and dont use nails, it wont be nearly as strong go with screws.

[Vincent Vascaul]

oh and it would cost around $300-350

Ok I am getting alot of pm's for a update so here is what I have so for in Sketchup (I switched from free CAD due to the huge amount of models available in sketchup) I will be using either a bench hinge or piano hinge (I am open to suggestions) The model is missing several components at the moment, I couldnt find the right fittings to go between the vid cards and I have no idea how to make tubing yet (still new with digital design stuff) I am using 7970's with EK blocks but that could change depending on parts sourcing ect... I am going to do the entire desk and then make the cad file available to anyone who wants it. The plan is to run a long loop to the radiator with enough flex for it to open or create a joint with 2 off valves and a quick disconnect in between. I am open to idea's for alternate whats to setup the WC loop or any suggestions in general, I want this to be as awesome as possible. I am also going to try to get sponsors for the next stage of the build so hopefully I can take this build up another notch!

Feel free to post questions and critiques and thanks for all of the response guys!

Loving all of this!
It always amazes me what people can make in Sketch-up, because I've tried it, so confusing, But, I've got AutoCAD, so I have no reason to try it again.

Dumb question, you're mounting the motherboard inverted?
(Or at least that's what the diagrams are saying to me.)

If so, do you know what that's going to do to your CPU's thermal profile?
Especially since some of the heat is going to try migrating out through the "bottom" of the CPU due to natural convection.

I made the Rog mod roundup, soooo cool! http://rog.asus.com/...m-mods-roundup/

[Vincent Vascaul]

Ok so I pretty much have the Sketchup model for the Desk itself done here are some screen shots, now if anyone would like to point me in the right direction for a place to host the Sketchup file I would be happy to make it available to anyone who wants to build something similar.











More coming soon.
