Back again!
I was invited for the Thermaltake 2016 CaseMOD Invitational Season 1, such an honor!
Normally I prefer a scratch build but with the Thermaltake P5 I just couldn't ignore my idea for it 🙂

Specs:
Intel Core i7-6700K
Asus Maximus VIII Formula
Asus Geforce GTX980 Strix (2x)
Asus ROG Swift PG348Q 34" 100Hz
Avexir Red Tesla 2666Mhz 16GB
Samsung 950 Pro 256GB M.2
Thermaltake Core P5 (2x)
Thermaltake DPS G RGB 1250W Ti
Thermaltake Fully Liquidcooled
Enjoy!
Lets kick off with the first big update 🙂
Unpacking .. Awesome!
The P5's
480 Rads
Plenty of pump power.
Reservoirs
Lots of fans.
Cpu and Strix blocks
Not sure yet if and how much I will use it, but a bending kit 🙂
It will be a mixture of PETG and nickelplated brass
All unpacked
So shiny!
The gaming gear! Off course needed to complete a desk.
First steps, mounting the fans.
And sleeving the pumps.
Just trying to imagine myself how it would look.
Sawing mounting rails for the desk
Will be using regular shelve holders to mount the desk to the wall
The idea
More next time 🙂

Today the hardware and modcave 🙂
Best looking mainboard ever.
The power.
Avexir memory
Lovely ssd.
GPU power.
More power
Some shots together.
Cleaned up the modcave where it's all going to happen.

I planned the whole weekend for measuring, cutting, drilling, filing, sanding etc 🙂
Ahh yes .. what I've been waiting for!
One arm should be able to hold 63kg, I'm using 4 of them.
Not much left of the internals.
Bottom shot.
So lets cut! (tried the dremel once again .. screw that)
Cover plate for right side of the desk where normally the mainboard goes
More filing needed
And holes
Also countersinking the PSU
Sorry, I don't like stickers
Rads also more inside
More holes, drilling and sanding.
Just had to test the fans 🙂

Came up with an little idea to bring 12V for fans, pump and lighting to the right side of the desk.
Picked up the laminated glas panel for the Tt d3sk.
Also picked up something awesome to complete this desk setup 🙂
Back to the 'powerbar'
2 molex lines directly from PSU to the right side.
Some wire management inside the P5
Test
Shortening the massive steel poles which will hold the glass panel.
I just found out where my safety glasses were 🙂
Few to go.
Going to test the hardware without liquidcooling. Very excited!
I never thought about the ROG logo from the Asus PG348 ... normally it shines ON your desk ...
I like the effect 🙂

Time to mount the blocks!
I always love these 🙂
2 hours later.
I'm working with several controllers for fans and lighting and want to have them in groups.
Fans - Top lighting - Bottom lighting
Need multiple cables and extensions from side to side through the 'powerbar'
Like this
Also want some cable managements, all extra cable out of sight in the P5
Done!

The loop. Finally! 🙂
First some pads underneath the GPU's
And the first fittings and pipe
Works like a charm
Should become something like this.
But still lots to do.

And another update!
Almost used all the fittings.
But glad some extra are on the way.
So first some more cable management.
So also the Displayport, keyboard and mouse cable.
Done!
Checking if everything still works.
Also received a flowmeter to check out.
Funny mirroring seen from bottom.
I guess white isn't too bad either.
