Hello everyone !!!
it's been a long time since I had not set foot on your forum ...
and although Xray does not participate too, he don't remains arms crossed
anyway it can not cross ...



hello Xray !
- "Hello cuc'
how are you?
- "Well thank you, but wait I'll be right back"
what have you forgotten ???



wow! What is this helmet ???
- "An introduction "
a helmet...
- "absolutely "



- "Finally, there is no only helmet ...."
 !!!!!!!!!
- "The becane there that goes with it "
Double wow !!!



and you know this kind of gear drive ???
- "I took a few lecons "
Oh yeah....
- "It drives like a bike these devices "
anyway you know how to spot the handlebars



- "I did not look great !!! "
leather jacket, helmet old school, missing only the beard
- "You're a clever you ...."
good it does not tell us how this relates to our project ...



- "A friend of mine has a harley, but a scale 1: 1 "
 it is something else !!!



and so?
- "It also has an old becane "
another bike!
- "Not there it is a old computer "
OK! and so he asked you to him concocted a new computer
- "That's it "
and I guess the theme concerns the harley
- "Bingo !! "



the color theme?
- "It is a copper edition, so a little copper ..."
chrome and black I guess
- "You assume well "



and you chose the case?
- "Houla !!! you'll quickly into work "
do not tell me you have not yet chosen the case ...
- "I chose the name of the mod, this should put you on the track "
 ops ops ops
- "Hey it's not all that but I have to go do some shopping !"



Okay ....
- "Hasta la vista "

I did not noise harley
see you soon to the new adventure of Xray

Xray ....
- "yes!"
you do not mind ...
- "oupssss !!! this sentence does not please me ...."
on the following photos ...
- "yes...."
well ... you do not see you...:blush::blush::blush:
- " "
today's post is dedicated to the structural work
- "and !!!"
I made plans with the friend
- "I was not there either ???"
no it's true
...
....
finally, in short! all that to say that we present why and how this DeskJack
- "Ok "
there was once a desk ...
- "classic like the beginning of history : :"



our friend saw that we could achieve with desk and pc
- "and he would have his own "
we mostly said yes to give him our support ops ops ops
- "Oh misery ... "
suddenly the desktop is replaced with a ....
- " "



- "what have you done another desk !!!!!"
well .... in fact I left it to him to mount the desk of the future structure ....
- "and he needs the old desk !!!"
somehow ....
- "you can tell me more or not ..."
it must be done by hand with its new tools



- "Oh yeah !!! it's not kidding "
we still thought about the ergonomics of desk
- "where plans "



it's nice plans but I always struggle to see what happens in reality ops
- "so he continued his art on the rest of the desk "
voilaaaaa



admit that it would be silly to build the desk and realize that you can't slide the leg below or find that the arms pose too high on the surface
- "a custom built desktop "
quite
- "matter?"
wood, MDF, to be precise



we did make cuts in order
- "at least they are supposed to be straight "



- "How thick the boards?"
22 mm



- "for mounting planks?"
was also well thought over
- "oupssss !!! it's not like you "
Hmm ....



short! we opted for concealed fixing
- "What style?"
this stuff



suddenly, our friend has invested in a router
- "a real thing !!!"



was better that you're not there
- "lol ....."
and we begin to realize the various holes in wood



the various elements are fixed
- "you are drawing lines ..."
for the establishment of adequate screw



- " it is well equipped your friend !!!"
better to have this kind of tool, so that the chest is properly square



so we have three compartments
- "left it to the config?"
yes! and come right up part of the watercooling
- "up?"
backstage



- "above the glass?"
euh no...
- "how's that, no !!!!"



if you cut me before I finished my sentence ....
- "oops sorry!"
so I would say that the above will be partially glazed



a beautiful clear glass 10 mm thick
- "with rounded corners !!!"
and chamfered edges



the opening is carried out with a circular saw
- "the corners are not rounded suddenly ...."
yeah! but that as such, the glass is not likely to hold up big guy ...
- "it is not wrong "



then ended with a router which causes corners ....
- "rounded "



quite



- "and there !!!"
ben there ... there is a missed "
- "and what do we do !!!!"



we repair
- "with what!!!"

it's wood so of pulpwood



herein lies the structure of DeskJack



- "aaaaahhh!! we will be able to attack our work "
what work you talking about?
- "making holes "
just we just finished and you're already thinking about holing structure !!!
- "Ben !!! what we always work like this you remember the slap that has developed on Silent Base ..."
no fake
- "I then attack!"
no, not now
- "ah ...."
it's sunny we will take a drink



to the next

hello
- "hello "
Xray
- "cuc' "
we continue with the structure of the desk
- "Yes! we attack the hole !!!!"
you have only this word in the mouth ....
- "Ouaisssssss !!! "



- "jigsaw in action "
at the same time we must ensure ventilation of the box



- "an air inlet and an air outlet ...."
... with three fans per side ...
- "to ensure proper air flow "



eh! Xray !!! you made him his party to the fan !!!
- " "



the idea is to embed the fans in the boards ....
- "so they take up minimal space in the box "
so he should fit the holes in the cutting profile of the frame of the fan



- "good work cuc' "
ben in fact I have nothing to do ....
- "it's not me who either worked ...."
well no saw you were not there :::
- " .... who is it then"
it was necessary that our friend is involved in desk design



- "he was glad when he had to repeat the operation for each fan
not speak of it :::



so he did a lot of photos ::
- "I see it!!!"



I put to you another for fun
- "just to show that we have built 6 fans "



without mentioning the cable ...
- "ah yes that's right !!!"



and then 6 fans ...
- "equal 6 cables "



here this little world is in place in the main box
- "aspiration on the front and extraction on the side "



- "but all these cables will be see !!!"
don't worry! we have foreseen this



- "a false floor !!!"
yes! it will serve tray to the motherboard
- "a lot of work in perspective "
and it is only the beginning ::: "

A++

Hello
- "how are you "
then Xray! we can start our work in this DeskMod !!!
- "Yes! infrastructure is complete, we dress in all this "
we saw the openings to embed fans
- "then we create grids that go well "
create ... create ... customize!
- "I took a shortcut :"
go! a little bit of a scroll saw!
- "in love with our Proxxon "



the orange stuff ....
- "vinyl cut plotter to be used to guide the cuts "
is then removed ...
- "ooooh yes "



a first grid to announce the theme :nod:
- "and a second for the name of the mod "
DeskJack
- "Desk for ...."
desk :
- "and Jack ...."
for whiskey ...
- " nooooo! it is the name of our friend Jacques "



- "here this is done "
two plates for both triple fans locations "



but then they are not really the size of the openings ....
- "don't worry! we will not place them directly on the fans!"
okay!
- "we ordered specific grids "



and so we will dress up these grids
- "it is indeed our intention "
spacers ???
- "Yes! just to give a little relief and at the same time do not block the air flow "
great!



- "hop! and this! is the first plate positioned on the grid "
it dresses well



- "5 mm between the plate and the grid"
cool



- "same procedure for the second plate "



and here are our two customized grids :handshake:
- " but it's not over ...."
really!!!



- "motorcycle our friend is a Copper Edition "
a small brass key then
- "exactly !!!"



- "I don't know if it makes good on the photo, but we used metallic paint "



we go to the second plate



what's this???
- "another plate :"
a cousin
- "I've got to leave a trace "



I am green
- "Not for long :"



it looks good thick your new plate !!!
- "in fact there are two "
okay !!!
- "nothing more practical to have two identical plates that glue them together "
a scroll saw have not of the same opinion ops
- "oh ... 2-3 blades more :"



but what is for these two additional plates ???
- "we expected to ventilate the config compartment ..."
yes
- "we will not forget the backstage "
 
- "especially since we are up the power supply and radiator "



Copper Edition?
- "Copper Edition "



what you do on the desktop ???
- "a hole "
.... I see! but....



why a hole ???
- "to paste an insert inside "



an insert ???
- "yes! a little one "



okay....
- "and it has a screw M3 "
I see now what you mean by



- "that's good because you have to put others in place "
all!!!
- "I have to answer ...."




- "placing spacers "



- "and hop! DeskJack's grid is in place on the desktop "



- "the operation is repeated for the second grid "
cool! these inserts are used to prevent the wood eventually deteriorate every time we want to remove these gates
- "Quite "
the other two plates with the image of your cousin have the same treatment?
- "at the inserts yes, but is positioned directly on the desktop without using a specific grid "
okay
- "this one says to the next "

hello
- "hello "
then Xray! you took advantage of your weekend
- "quite! I went to see a friend of Mombasa ...
 !!!! he smokes much your friend !!!!
- "he thinks a lot ::"
I dare you return the compliment
- "no, no, it is okay "



well! what we present today?
- "the heart of the system "
Motherboard
- "most especially the way we will pass in our hands "



it is obvious that the yellow is not fitting with the theme Harley
- "that is reason for dismantling the sinks "
what do we do with it?
- "plug the holes, and put them on the side for later "



you! I see you coming with this acrylic plate
- "you know me :::"
we know how we do
- "to realize the fairing of motherboard, we take a plate of 3 mm thickness"
thicker, we risk do wrong, especially on the PCIe ports, in order to secure thereafter the graphics card



we start with the easiest
- "Yes! cutouts on the rear panel of the motherboard! "



next the memory slots
- "a simple rectangle "
the advantage of acrylic is ....
- "seen through "
the task is made easier
- "but nonetheless we must remain in the measures to be as close "



- "we identify the different PCI slots of the card "
it is here that the difficulty is greatest



- "quite! so do not miss !!!"
consider the toggle fasteners PCIe ports
- "cut flush but have enough game to the plate to take place"



- "we do not forget the openings at the front of PCIe ports ..."
otherwise it will be difficult to insert graphics cards



hey it's not all ....
- "oh yes! there is also the location for sinks ...."
opening for ATX sockets and CPU ....
- "that of SATA sockets"
not to mention the opening of the CPU
- "we achieved a bare minimum at the openings for just not having too "
unless you can not do less if we want the plate to take place without it especially flange attaching graphics cards



you sanded plate
- "the interest of a fairing is primarily to conceal the motherboard "
painting ??
- "It could ... but no ..."



ah! in view of the paint on the rear panel modules and chipset radiator ... I thought ...
- "ah yes it finally .... but not!"
yes, no ... must be clear !!!
- "yes, it is painted because I was away on copper at the map ..."
and....
- "no, because I actually changed my mind "
why!!!
- "I looked at the Harley our friend and we have a max of chrome and black at the engine block "
and suddenly, we consider that the config is ....
- "engine!!!!"



then, the back panel ???
- "taking an aluminum plate "



- "we will bend "



- "history to achieve the formwork of these modules "




and for painting! black then ???
- "no painting done "
 
- "who says Harley, said Biker says a Biker so says ...."
leather!!!!
- "right! there the leatherette is used but this is the one used for motorcycle saddles "



- "we took different textures "
a matt appearance and soft touch to the fairing of motherboard
I see you have also blocked some openings
- "quite! history of having only the minimum visible "



- "glued to neoprene bomb "
you create another element?
- "Yes! history give a little relief to all! "
the fairing is stressed
- "You understand the idea "



- "we remain with our cuts "



- "on the aluminum "



- "we'll polish "
 



- "we'll polish ...."
you repeat to you !!!
- "Yeah .... I was wrong side "



- "the sink suffered the same fate "
we had not painted copper color ....
- "Yes, but as rear modules, it was not going ...."
it involved removing its original color!
- "a small bath of caustic soda "
history to regain its appearance aluminum
- "we recapped the various bumps with putty"
and polishing thereafter
- "and it shines !!! "



- "we have reserved the same treatment for plaque that highlights the fairing of motherboard "



nice contrast with the matte side of the leatherette
- "just like the engine block of the Harley "



I see you do not derogated your rule ...
- "my rule ???"
thy pleasure they will say :
- "I'm not you ...." ::
- "Ah, that !!! oh no .... well ... though I'm not elegant even when! "



and the form of the back panel modules?
- "It was covered in leatherette "
the same as the motherboard
- "small seams are made to give a style effect "
and prevent the leatherette will make the trunk by taking off



- "as can be seen, the plate that highlights the fairing of motherboard overflows of it "
I see you've set up a strip of LEDs
- "Yes! white LEDs for backlighting !"




- "that's all for today "
in the next

hello
- "how are you "
Xray fine and you?
- "we did go "
we talk about what today?
- "a brief stint on the memory"
broad topic



we keep the sinks in the state?
- "euh... no "
painting .... sticker ....
- "neither one nor the other actually "



ah! but downright we removed the original sinks !!!!
- "Yes! and we played with the heat gun to soften the thermal pad "



suddenly we replace ....
- "with a XSPC's sink "
we will watercooler memory kit?
- "this is the idea "
but it's not used much ....
- "but it's so nice "



allowed the brand logo ....
- "no! but :madred:!!! it is tough to remove !!!! "
suddenly ???
- "we stick of faux leather "
we stay in the motherboard style



then?
- "that's all "
that's all ???
- "you did not hear what I said at the beginning !!!!"
was what about?
- "a brief stint .... "
it was brief indeed
