Long John Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 http://i61.tinypic.com/1115ab7.jpg i have been modding for awhile now and just won bronze with Corsairs pc domination competition. i have decided to say thank you to corsair and build a obsidian style desk, it might sound like im creeping, but i do think they make quailty products and if i could have my whole computer made by corsair i would. well it has taken me along time to get it right, here is my 1st design but it wasnt suitable as like me not many people have room for large desks so it needs to be compact. http://i59.tinypic.com/160vhqe.jpg now im getting somewhere http://i58.tinypic.com/2qd32ph.jpg this looks alot better http://i60.tinypic.com/2emlco2.jpg and now with colour http://i60.tinypic.com/2a7tlrk.jpg I would like to know you opinions of the desk and always like feedback so get typing and let me know what you think ok thats over with now the technical stuff. asus z87 pro motherborad i7 4770k processor Corsair H100i with link and lighting kit Gigabyte gtx 670 Corsair Dominator Platinum Corsair RM750 power supply samsung 256 pro ssd plus Accessories to follow once i have worked out my budget now most of the build will be wood apart from a few items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long John Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 been working hard over the last couple off days its starting to take form. had spent alot off time working out placing for motherboard and h100i, due to the size off the desk 1100x545mm because it needs to fit in a alcove so everything needs to be compact and i wanted it symmetrical. http://i59.tinypic.com/ws697r.jpg http://i57.tinypic.com/103z8ec.jpg http://i57.tinypic.com/14e2hqo.jpg http://i61.tinypic.com/2nvcy39.jpg starting to take shape now had to adjust the center platform so i could ge a decent angle http://i58.tinypic.com/2w2elpf.jpg along way to go to finish motherboard http://i58.tinypic.com/k1e92s.jpg http://i59.tinypic.com/xksvtt.jpg well thats it for this update and keep the comments coming and keep viewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spawntodeath Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 It is good to see that Corsair are willing to appreciate your loyalty to their brand as you are one of the few builders working in traditional ways in a home environment with traditional tools, and producing fantastic work. Keep up the good work. Cant wait to see the finished build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
