Need some more space on your desk? We built a solution!
The 011 dynamic fits perfectly in an Ikea Alex Drawer with space left for an active exhaust, rear IO and intake. Super happy with how everything turned out.

Little tip for cutting holes in melamine to prevent blowout. Use blue painters tape to cover the hole saws entry and exit. This holds it together as the saw passes through the board preventing it from splintering.

@ArkiTechnology Год назад

will keep that in mind, thanks for the tip!

@dickdickling9389 Год назад

Also helps if you drill trough half the hole and then go at it from the other side, long as you have a bit with a regular drill in the middle (not sure how its called)

@Kenshin11212 Год назад

This reel showed up on my IG and I immediately had to come watch the full video. Really cool. I've always wanted to make a desk PC and this makes that a very practical option now.

@ArkiTechnology Год назад

Thankyou so much. Appreciate the kind words 🙏

@offthegeekend Год назад

Awesome build idea to put the Lian Li 011D in there! I do have 2 things I would change though: 1) The vent item is rad, but also runs at 12V 6W (so 0.5A although I'm sure it goes a tad higher in fluctuation). You could find/make an adapter to power it from the PC itself, saving a hole in the back and another powerbrick on the surge strip. 2) Instead of cutting the intake holes on the side and having to create a wood strip on the front to fill the gap next to the PC, you could create a vent panel to fill that gap. The thickness of the gap and being the full height of the case would be plenty for intake airflow, plus you save yourself having to cut the side of the cabinet. And it allows the cabinet to be placed against a wall or have something else on that side.

@ArkiTechnology Год назад

Great points on both ends! Would love to see a build with amendments made 👀

@modekeyboards Год назад

The finished product looks super clean! Fits in with the overall vibe of your space.

@ArkiTechnology Год назад

Thankyou thankyou. Appreciate it 🤝

@richard-6920 Год назад

Just an idea: keep one drawer guide on the right side and attach the white gap closer to it. That way you can reach over it when the top drawer is extended and just slide it out.

@ascerta 6 месяцев назад

I've done quite the same thing but to put in my laptop. It actually improved performance, laptop gets fresh air as it sits close to the ground, and it makes far less noise since it's in a drawer. Saved a lot of space on the desk. It's well-worth it.

@ArkiTechnology 6 месяцев назад

Ahh thats awesome man!

@M4rio21 Год назад

The exhaust hole looked so bad, it caught me off guard when it came out looking fantastic. Great job!

@MakerMods Год назад

Just out of curiosity, wouldn’t you be better off just building a water cooled PC in the Alex drawer? You could attach the mobo to the drawer rail and it would actually slide out if needed, and the cost of the case could get you pretty close to the cost of a custom loop or very large AIO

@jassassine6973 Год назад

Muchly enjoyed the video. Being a Cabinetmaker myself, this has just triggered off a slew of Idea's! Cheers - Jass.

@ArkiTechnology Год назад

Appreciate it :) best of luck with the new creations!

@huydao. Год назад

Awesome build! Would you be able to link the backplate adapter you used for the power cable too? Also, something to consider, but the extra piece used on the right of the case could likely be attached using simple hinges - this would make the tower a little more accessible.

@shawnlatchman1802 Год назад

For the side panel vent on the right side, you should have made another one for the fan of the PSU, otherwise it won’t be able to pull in much air

@davelehmann Год назад

What an amazing build!!! Wish I had seen the video before building a similar IKEA drawer solution for my corsair case... Btw adding that rear IO to the drawer may end up crippling your PC' output quality in terms of HDMI 2.1 and Ethernet

@KingYaadie Год назад

this looks really cool and I think I’m gonna try it. But wouldn’t it be better to put the exhaust vent at the same height of the PC exhaust vents?

@monster_eh3938 Год назад

Awesome work ..instead of the AC vent would a regular vent and a few extra pc fans work you think

@ArkiTechnology Год назад

Yeah absolutely, if you finished it with some mesh it's still look clean

What purpose does the rear Io serve? Would it be the same if I just cut a small hole to run my wires through a grommet?

@ArkiTechnology 8 месяцев назад

Just made it a bit easier to change cables out / reach rear io.. if you never move things about running wires as you mentioned would be no bother

@bethanjenkins2257 Год назад

Personally I'd put another hole for exhaust at the back of the draws for the psu otherwise it's gonna get hot in there

@ArkiTechnology Год назад

yeah would agree but the side with spacing is where the PSU exhausts so not overly worried. is plat standard as well

@GJA1225 Год назад

so is this for a O11 Dynamic Evo, or is it a O11 Dynamic XL?

@R6_jrry 3 месяца назад

How or what is the IOplugged into? You skipped all of that… I actually am working on my dual pc and I want my stream inside the Alex drawer I actually had the same idea before watching this but not the IO part I still don’t understand what plugs into it or how? lol I’m not the most tech guy here

@ArkiTechnology 3 месяца назад

Sorry mate! IO has a few extensions in and mounted on rear, alternatively just cut a big enough hole in the back 😂

@xJJM10 Год назад

Where did you get the strip for next to the front of the PC? The only reason I ask is because I have the grey ones already for the Alex drawers and I think i'll give this a go honestly.

@ArkiTechnology Год назад

I got it from an existing draw we took out :) the bottom interior lining of the drawers was the same colour as exterior - alternatively your local diy should have a strip of wood for cheap you can paint match. GL and lmk if you have any questions

@michaelsamchuk1819 Год назад

Why does the thumbnail have a pic of a guy holding a drill with a 2 1/2” - 3” hole saw bit photoshopped onto the end of it at an angle which isn’t even possible. And I doubt that drill can ever power a bit that big to realistically drill through anything. And what would you need that for to assemble a computer? I didn’t watch the video just assuming that’s what it’s about. Very weird

@ArkiTechnology Год назад

😂😂 if you watched the video you'd see we used that bit, on that drill (no photoshop) to cut through an ikea drawer to make intake holes. Ofc it makes no sense without context fella

@dickdickling9389 Год назад

Imagine commenting before watching the video. its LDF Not hard to drill what so ever.
