this desk case Fusion is not for the
faint of heart it's big it's bold it's
covered in brushed aluminum fingerprint magnet goodness and it costs a whopping
1,500 us and for those of you who are
about to ask no that does not include
any actual PC Hardware so first
thought man this desk is PC porn at its finest
second thought H it's covered in
fingerprints already I should have probably been wearing some of these

on a strong note unlike our DIY desk PC
project and to a lesser degree the vector desk mini the dk4 comes
pre-assembled so right out of the box the desk's 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 upes leg 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 6t
cables that cover the short distance between the power supply and the
motoring 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 tothe
wall content creation rig that reached
just shy of $6,000 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 ints core i7
6900k might not be an extreme Edition but it's still an8 core monster and the
$700 we saved over the 6950x allowed us
to splurge on a 1.2 tbte 750 series ndme
SSD for lightning fast system responsiveness as for memory G skill's
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 tricks from ASUS 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 stricks is ARA compatible
but with the included red green and blue dials on the front of the desk we are
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 desk the next logical step was a power supply
Corsair's rm1000x 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 hard line and so
the choice was clear this tubing it's clear also it's
Hardline EK water blocks' 12 mm clear
petg is Affordable and designed to match
up perfectly with the plethora of 12mm
Hardline 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 eight processing cores
nice and frosty there was no debating that ek's plexy toop Supremacy Evo was a
great choice for both performance and Aesthetics not to mention it matches our
GTX 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 yay
Customs our three 60 mm EK PE series
radiator mounted on this super bizarre
front bracket that doesn't have enough clearance for fans to fit underneath
according to Le 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 x3400
reservoirs tube which we mounted on the 2 and 1/2 in drive base 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 Le and Le's manual talks about
radiator mounting but makes no mention of other water cooling components on so
we ended up securing our pump to one of the two lower SSD mounts next to a 1 TB
Samsung 850 Evo with a ghetto washer
that Jake made out of a cable anchor with some super professional looking
electrical tape sleeving 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 aios going
back to the tubing Jake and Ivan went full Linus 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
LTT 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 worth of ek's black Hardline and 90° 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 golden damn is
Hardline ever awesome when somebody else
has to deal with it cabling was next and
uh 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 build perfectly in what I'm calling and uh Alpine white so with everything
installed the glass on and uh 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 it's 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 th000 plus dollars on a desk anyway well then the dk4 could be the perfect
product for you you do need to be a little prepared for Le and Le'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 oh no yeah it actually looks pretty darn
appealing we've teamed up with Zotac and HTC to bring you a truly immersive
