Project: Overkill
Welcome OCN to my first case mod, if you want to call it that. I'm building from scratch a corner desk unit to house two PCs each with their own WC loop. Now, for the matter of this build, there will be a single computer (unless I strike it rich) with a dual monitor setup.
I have rendered most of the project, and I will be posting it up shortly (need to get it hosted first). There will be a few additions to this project as it goes as well, which will be seen in the photo documentary.
Little background about me:
I'm 25, live in Massachusetts. The most intricate woodworking I've ever done is stupid little projects such as putting up railings in my house, installing a few doors, moldings, and various other around the house 1 hour long projects.
In other words? I'm probably getting in WAY over my head. However, whats the expression? Go big or go home?
I've also never assembled a water cooling loop, so this is going to be a lot of fun for me.
Enjoy!
