Project - The Next Level - 13-05-2012 Steel and wood

Hi Everyone,

Its time for another project.My idea/design to build a desk inside a frame with a glass top and without feet ive done 2 times.

Version 1.



Version 2.



I dont want to make a third version so now its time for a new design.This time i go for an ergonomic design.So this is the kickoff for my new project The Next Level.



The idea is to build a design desk that can be adjust in height so everyone can sit at it by simply push a button to move it up or down.My designs always change when im building so here a drawning how its gonna look.



The desk will be watercooled and the hardware is not decided yett.More about this later.
I already bought the lifting column and this is how it looks.











The specs.

• Thrust: up to 2500 N per DL2
• Speed: up to 20 mm/s with CBD4
• Installation dimensions can be seen in the
ordering example
• Stroke length 300 mm, 350 mm, 500 mm ± 4 mm
• Colour: Natural anodized aluminium profiles and
black painted end plates or electro-galvanised
3 mm end plates
• Low noise level
• Compact and mounting friendly design
• Built-in limit switches (not adjustable)
• Dimension column: 147 x 194 mm
• Dimension 8 mm end plates: 160 x 244 x 8 mm
• Dimension 3 mm end plates: flush with the
profiles
• Each column is fitted with a 740 mm ± 60 mm
straight black cable with an 8-pole AMP plug or
100 mm mini-fit cable
• Dynamic bending moment (at 100% stroke
length):
My+/Mx+ = 250 Nm and My-/Mx- = 200 Nm

And a little movie how it works.

Update 27.

The last 2 weeks i didnt have much time to work on the desk.Busy time is over so back to work.

First i attached the frame to the backside along with the controlbox and the psu.I also mounted the oak backpanel and the new controls for the columns.







The columns were not used fror some time so i did a little test and made a small movie while testing.



Then i mounted the cpu block on the motherboard.





Mounted the reservoirs and the motherboard on the mobotray.









Then i start bending the pipes for the first loop.





The loop is finisht at this point so then i mounted the gpu block and the backplate.





Placed the gpu on the mobo.





Next thing to do is instal the second gpu block and backplate and start bending the pipes for the second loop.

More to come.

Thanks to my sponsors :













Looks nice and sharp.

Really, really love the fusion of High Tech and "old school" wood ... and the black finish of the desk is just a perfect fit with your hardware.

Great work man and waiting for your next updates and rig first firing up 😉
