Thanks Illnino but you have to wait because the desk is long from finisht.

1st of all WOW great looking project! Very professional yet very simple but simple as in elegant and clean definitely not easy!

Now this is probably abit early for these questions but IMO no harm in asking


If you were to sell one complete including the WC components but minus the actual computer itself how much would you ask? (ball park figure)

Could you make one in a sort of Ikea fashion? whereby its in bulk parts to put together (for fitting through small doors)?

Again this is top notch, you should think about going to the market with it if you can get a blue print down, build to order type thing that way your not losing money on ones you've made but not sold

[PasLis]

Thanks for the compliment snowdweller. This one is already in parts thats how im gonna get it in my house when its finisht.Its not easy to set up a build to order thing but who knows maby one day.

Update 18.

This weekend i finally had time to work on my desk again.Last week i received a package from Aqua Computer.They gave me a huge discount on the products i needed



The goods.















Thanks a lot Aqua Computer and specially Sven.

I also bought a aquaero 5 pro from a forum user on a other forum.



First i made an housing for the aquaero from stainless steel.

I totaly forgot to make a picture from the sanding.Then i made the hole for the housing in de backpanel of the desk.



Finally i could start to work with the oak i received earlier.Time to make an oak backpanel.

[PasLis]

Now thats finisht its time to mount the I/O plate back in the desk.



Then i mounted the backpanel en de housing for the aquaero.



Time to make some more wood details and again i forgot to make pictures im getting old i guess.



This is how it looks at this point.I have to say the housing for the aquaero looks kinda big so i think im gonna make a new one.













More to come.

Update 20.

Today i made a new housing for the aquaero.Again i used 2mm stainless steel.
The housing is made out of 6 parts.

First i spotwelded,welded and finisht the housing







Then i made 2 plates for mounting the housing.



Welded the plates.







The old housing.



The new housing.







In my opinion the housing looks mucg better now and im satisfied with the endresult.

Because Aqua Computer has no backplates for my blocks i made a few backplates myself.

The backplates are made of 2mm stainless steel.







Because the blocks have a brused stainless steel plate i want to brush the backplates also.
I used some sanding paper and some scotch brite for this.

[PasLis]

The result.







Because brushed stainless steel easily stains i painted it with varnish.



Ready to paint.



The end result.





This was it for today.

I've gotta say it again. I really will buy the whole thing if you're willing to sell.

[Brendruis]

The skill demonstrated in this thread is truly a cut above everything else here. It is clear you are a master of your trade and this isn't just a hobby of yours.

That welding and finishing work is simply masterful.. I am thoroughly impressed and I have this thread bookmarked.

I'm in for that! Please let me know when you are finished,and how much you want for it. If you don't want money,then maybe we could trade something. Whatever you want is fine with me. I really really like what you've done. Thanks PasLis.

Update 21.

After 3 weeks of holiday its time to work on the desk again.Monday its back to work again and today i made a little progress on the details.

First i re made the rad covers.



Then i took a piece of oak and cut it in pieces.





From the pieces i made triangles.



Now thats finisht its time to fit the rad covers.







Time to put the triangles in place.I have 2 options to mount them on the rad covers.

Option 1.







Option 2.

[PasLis]

I like both options so maby i can make a chioce with the top on.














I still like both options so maby you guys can help me decide.

More to come.

I'd go for the same size all the way. It just looks more clean I guess. You're right they both look cool though.
