    Stalker's custom PC desk


    Hello people, as I announced in Show Us Your Rig, I'm plaining to make custom desk for my pc with parts inside. So, I'll open hew thread, and will post here.

    I don't have SolidWorks installed, so the paper was here. :) What I'm planing to do is next:

    Stalker's custom PC desk-12540764_10208739428347813_6616125013711721489_n.jpg

    The upside will be cuted with dimensions from the paper. That will be covered with plexiglass or glass. Inside will be led stripes, probably in red color.
    The components I want to be divided in 2 parts, one for the mb and parts on it and the other one for the psu, hdd, ssd. The bottom one should be additionaly colled with 2x120mm coolers. Maybe CM JetFlow.


    Someone to give me some advice for this project?

    Thanks, Boshko.

    Out of the billions of desktop backgrounds available you feel the need for speed and create your own?

    (I'd offer but way too lazy.)

    The OP isn't asking for a desktop wallpaper. He is wanting to build a computer into an actual desk.

    OK, building a desk (had desktop on the brain). Remember when a desktop was the top of the desk?

    This is an interesting project being a cabinet maker by trade I have thought of it many times :)

    Problem is plexiglass scratches easily
    Real glass can be heavy and expensive to drill holes where you need them not to mention joining all the parts is very interesting

    They have been assembling glass shower enclosures for years so there's a good example of joining corners/ attaching doors-drawers...

    Logic tells me 3/8" glass would be as thin as I would use clear plate but it is outrageously priced and again some where you will be drilling a hole or 20 $$$
    I believe possibly a combination of real and plexiglass might be the solution in outside scratches :/

    I've pretty much came to the conclusion
    Wood frame doors and glass panels would give the same effects without the same costs :)Here's my cherry desk that could of had glass panels/ and top

    If I wanted to show off the pc I`d put a piece of real glass on the front side of the desk, not the top, that way everyone can see it :)

    But then you`d loose the drawers

    Nice desk there Mike
