this desk case fusion is not for the faint of heart it's big its bold it's covered in brushed aluminum fingerprint magnet goodness and it costs a whopping fifteen hundred US dollars and for those of you who are about to ask no that does not include any actual PC hardware so first thought oh man this desk is PC porn at its finest second thought hmm it's covered in fingerprints already I should have probably been wearing some of these before I loved it Brow's privately and securely with tunnel they're the simple VPN app try tunnel bear for free at the link in the video description so the journey begins then on a strong note unlike our DIY desk PC project and to a lesser degree the vector desk mini the d.ko 4 comes preassembled so right out of the box the desks height can be adjusted via the controls on the front with a height range that's adequate for anyone from Dennis all the way to Taran my only gripe with this up desk like functionality is the massive exposed power supply that is visibly positioned inside the case it makes the movement features feel like kind of an afterthought and for $1,500 a small metal piece could have easily been used to cover up the power supply while we're at it the two six-foot cables that cover the short distance between the power supply and the motor and controller probably also could have been cut to size aside from that the interior of the desk is very clean until of course you touch it and touch it we will we decided on a balls-to-the-wall content creation rig that reached just shy of 6,000 dollars including the desk and all the water cooling components and I know that might sound like a lot and that's because it is the brain of our system was a pretty easy choice Intel's Core i7 69 hundred K might not be an extreme addition but it's still an 8 core monster and the $700 we saved over the 69 50 X allowed us to splurge on a 1.2 terabyte 750 series nvme SSD for lightning fast system responsiveness as for memory G skills Trident Z 64 gig kit in white was the perfect mate for our color scheme or lack of color scheme as it were and on that note the x99 Strix from a soos was perfect for our build other than the orange lighting which we really felt had to go something we thought would be easy but not so much now there's nowhere to install an IO shield due to the way the rear cables route so we put that away then it was time to work on our lighting the Strix is ARRA compatible but with the included red green and blue dials on the front of the desk we opted not to use software controls and I think all the other RGB purists will agree individual channel control knobs are the only way to go for full hipster RGB satisfaction with the board in the desc the next logical step was a power supply Corsairs RM 1000 x was chosen yet again for its simple understated looks and perfectly overkill capacity which allows us to keep the fan off even under load on the subject of cooling we know you guys have been craving hardline and so the choice was clear this tubing it's clear also it's hard line ek water blocks is 12 millimeter clear PE TG is affordable and designed to match up perfectly with the plethora of 12 millimeter hard line fittings that they provided in a sleek and sexy black finish so I'm glad we cleared that up speaking of clear to keep our 8 processing course nice and frosty there was no debating the DK's plexi top supremacy evil was a great choice for both performance and aesthetics not to mention it matches our GT X 1080 that we definitely used instead of a TI because the extra power doesn't make much of a difference while video editing and definitely not because the 1080 TI block didn't show up on time yeh customs our 360 millimetre ekp e series radiator mounted on this super bizarre front bracket that doesn't have enough clearance for fans to fit underneath according to Lee and Lee this was to save the exterior from the up to 16 fan screws that could be installed in it but in my opinion there's still no reason they couldn't have enlarged it for the fans and the screws that would go on them especially because there's a large magnetic fan filter that covers this area anyway with the radiator installed there's just enough room for our x3 400 reservoirs tube which we mounted on the two and a half inch drive bays to run next to it and while the upper drive mounts aren't designed for this purpose they ended up working quite well though back to the word design it's kind of a key word here Lee and Lee's manual talks about radiator mounting but makes no mention of other water cooling components so we ended up securing our pump to one of the two lower SSD mounts next to a one terabyte Samsung 850 Evo with a ghetto washer that Jake made out of a cable anchor with some super professional-looking electrical tapes leaving and we just found that that was while functional a bit frustrating for such a physically large enthusiast grade product we think some more thought could have been put into the custom water cooling scene rather than just focusing on a iOS going back to the tubing Jake and Ivan went full liners tech tips at this stage and with the build mostly complete finally took it upon themselves to figure out the best way to route the tubing in true ltte fashion they did pull through and ended up with a couple bends that look very clean with the rest of the tubes actually being fairly straight TM with the help of about 150 dollars worth of eks black hard-line and 90 degree fittings with all the tubing in place and tightened Jake rigged up an interesting fill port by screwing a funnel into an extension which did leak a bit but not nearly as much as the wide open port on the bottom of the reservoir there was one small leak we discovered shortly after the filling but other than that we were Goldin damn is hard line ever awesome when somebody else has to deal with it cabling was next and oh we sure messed up here cables definitely should have been done before filling to prevent possible bump induced leaks the result though was monochromatic cable mod cables that fit the bill perfectly in what I'm calling an alpine white so with everything installed the glass on and after 30 minutes of wiping off all the fingerprints that somehow still managed to get on the brushed aluminum we've come back to the same conclusion we started with this thing is gorgeous and you don't even have to cover it up I mean you could put a monitor down on top of your build with the default stand or you can actually use this mounting point at the back of the desk to install a monitor arm it does cause some light leakage but in my opinion is a worthwhile trade-off which brings us then to the conclusion if you're a PC enthusiast with a ton of that young cash burning a hole in your pocket and you were planning on spending a thousand plus dollars on a desk anyway well then the decal four could be the perfect product for you you do need to be a little prepared for Lee and Lee's form before function approach but considering the alternative we are now officially out of components to put over there leading us to more problems particle board does not like moisture have the controller on the outside no yeah it actually looks pretty darn appealing we've teamed up with ZOTAC and HTC to bring you a truly immersive giveaway we're giving away
