"The Box"
Hi!
My current build is on the floor, hard to clean, hard to reach and claustrophobic. Yes, my desk looks large and clean, but that box on the floor to rest my feet on, is actually my computer case. A mod I was happy with at the time, but now I want something different.
Old Build
"The Box" (Working title) is going to be anything but. Large, on top of a desk, lots of space, easy access to everything, easy to upgrade/change. This is my hobby, and I want a spent a lot of time on this, planing, drawing, building, and getting all the details right.
Thank you for checking out my project

I have bought two of these that I have modded, and put one on top of the other.
So I'm basically building a two storey bench, that Ill build a bit of scaffolding around, cover it with this foam filter, and CNC some nice covers for. I have a few sketches, think it will turn out cool. See planed layout below.
On top:
MB
Top compartment:
Fan/pump controller
HDDs
Drive
Water filters
Bottom compartment:
PSU
Pumps
Flow meters
Safety/drain res
Hiding cables/tubes
I have bought a cheap samsung 27" that Ill use as a single while I build/mod. Ill buy 2 more, or 3 new ones for a new 3x1440 surround setup when the build is finished. In the meantime I can use the surround setup from my old build, with 3 24" samsungs as well. Plan is to end up with surround setups for both my PC's. Never know, maybe Ill get a friend sometime.

Looking for feedback on:
Color scheme. (Considering going all black, with white sleeving and tubes)
Shopping list. (Anything you would not buy? Got recommendations?)
Do you see anything I have missed/forgotten?
Anything else you think would be cool?
I'm trying to improve on my English, as this is not my mother tongue. Have to resort to google translate from time to time.
If I make any stupid errors, or any misspelling really, you are free to let me know, as long as the tread stay on topic.Edited by PureBlizz - 7/13/12 at 3:58pm
