Muchoman1 Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) So The big day is finally here With my final exams out of the way ( :woo: ) the time has begun for my latest project A fully self contained liquid cooled desk I have only seen a couple of these on the internet, and none i have seen have been this size. I call this the Hive, due to the fact it is 2.4m long, 1m wide Resident Evil inspired desk. It has the space inside it to hold 4 seperate watercooling loops, 4 quad radiators, 2 entire computer systems, 4 large powersupplies and can even fit triple 30 inch monitors on top. So today the reign of the desk began, at my local bunnings, where 5 sheets of 2.4x1.2m MDF was cut up, and bought home. Thank you to all the current sponsors For supplying paint, sandpaper, tools and fasteners for this project FrozenQ, for sending two of their liquid fusion V series reservoirs (dont have a logo sorry guys, will post one when i can get one) So, all this MDF was carted home, and arranged in a pile on the floor of my garage, awaiting initial construction tomorrow So heres a few pics to capture your interest Cya all tomorrow Muchoman1 Edited January 6, 2012 by Muchoman1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muchoman1 Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 Not a huge update today, and only 1 more pic. I assembled the legs of the desk (yes they will be that way up when the desks done) and sanded them ready for painting tomorrow/tuesday. More pics to follow with the painting of various parts.

MJCRO Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Be careful with that MDF! Just pray it doesn't break or splinter on you while drilling and tightening on it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muchoman1 Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 I must say I have never seen mdf splinter yeah i doubt this will splinter or break, its the 18mm thick stuff, also its high density fiberboard, so a grade above mdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
