Hi, thank you for checking out my updatelog

 

Since that the ROG Rampage VI extreme was released I thought it was time for updating my entire system.

The components that I have now are 4 years old, I want to update my desk so it is ready for VR and the next years to come.

Also making it fully RGB would be pretty awesome so I've asked Corsair's help since they're the RGB guys ;)

 

What am I going to update:

 

Visible

- Main System (MOBO, RAM, CPU, SSD's)

- Fans

- Leds

- Controllers

- Waterblocks

- Color scheme

 

Non-Visible

- Cable management

- Quick disconnects

- Tweakings inside the desk

Coming Soon ;)

[XYOUNEED]

Ey!

 

I've received some packages in the last month so here are some pictures of the boxes and the components.

 

I'm still waiting for the CPU and the RAM and some other bits an pieces before I can start on tearing apart my older components and desk.

 

Time for some Corsair's RGB's

 

 

This desk was in need for some RGB. So thanks again Corsair!

 

 

So I started making some designs for refreshing the 4 fan grills.

 

I've reused the circles from my logo and it came out great :D

The engraving will look awesome with the bright leds of the HD120's behind it.

 

Some more big packages ;)

 

I just love what they did with the Rampage VI Extreme it's so elegant when its shut off. I've also gone with a Black/White theme right now, the cables are UV reactive so they'll light up with the leds. Hopefully this will create a cool effect.

 

 

Also started sleeving some of the cables :D

Phew, it has been a while since I've posed on any kind of forum.

I've had some very busy years. Right now we are still renovating the downstairs into a kitchen space. I'm also getting close of starting up my own company somewhere in May so the planning of that also kept me busy.

 

But don't you worry, the X-Desk is still standing in his full RGB gloriousness.

Thanks to CORSAIR ofcourse! So here are the final updates from Dec. 2018

 

Remember every row of fans is controlled by a Commander Pro.

 

Here are some finalized pictures!
