I am Jannis from Germany so please let me know in the comments, if I can correct any mistakes. ;)
If you´ve got some questions or like my project, I would be really happy, if you´d upvote my post, post a comment or follow me :)

I designed my desk in a 3d software and also built it myself (But it is not completed yet).

Some companies also liked my project and sent me some nice hardware.
Huge thanks to: Aquatuning (Alphacool+Phobya), Caseking, Coolermaster, Msi and Nvidia.
without them my project wouldn´t be possible.

So here are the first pictures + a little bit of information:
(The pictures aren´t in 4k res. for people who don´t have fast internet) ;)

The last step which I showed in my last blog was the delidding of my CPU.
The next thing I did was some cablework on the power strip. I modified it so that I can build it into my desk.

Then I hid the power cable and 2 lan cables behind the toeboard. (Then almost every cable will be invisible. ;)
The cables are going into the leg of my desk and just around 1cm of cables will be visible at the end.

Then I recieved the other package of Aquatuning and I had almost all the parts for my watercooling loop.

After unboxing the watercooling parts, I modified my radiator from Alphacool so that it can also light up in all the colors I want. Then I mounted it on the sides of my desk.

(First this logo was blue and now it is white and equipped with RGB LED´s underneath.

After that I glued my delidded CPU back together and mounted it on the mainboard.

Later, I mounted the motherboard on my desk and modified with some carbon wrap.

I also modded the RGB rings for my water reservoir.

Before mounting the reservoirs, I flushed/cleaned them with destilled water.

Here is how the mounted reservoir looks like.
(I put some clean film / foil above the other hardware to prevent dust from getting on the parts.

I also worked on the first sleeved cable.

Here is a picture of the MSI dragon: ;)

The last thing which I will show in this post is when I disassembled my NAS system.
It came in a case but I wanted to put it in my desk so I don´t need a case ;)

This is how it looked like when I mounted it on the desk. I put some tape around it to ensure that it is mounted straight.

All together the desk looked like this:
