My efforts to find a red harbinger cross desk have failed and so I'm now committing myself to a crazy task to design one myself.

Having spoken to a metal smith and confirming it is possible to get them to create my design I've started with Google SketchUp

I will post sketchs as I go along
 
First design attempt

Materials

I plan to make this desk out of metal, I've spoken to a metal smith and he says its doable, this may change depending on what he says when he sees my designs, the front see through piece hopefully will be some sort of glass/plexi and will be a custom water reservoir, I'm using metal due to its fantastic ability to stay cold and that it looks very sleek in black.

Failing the metal route if im to go down the wood route id simple wrap the wood in some sort of black sheeting to give it the same effect.

Yeh I see your thinking, alittle like the Lian li version, their desk version slides out the front for accessibility, I did however envisage the top glass piece simply being detachable, alittle hard for me to show it in the design but alittle like a car the bonnet will open allowing me to tinker with the top side or access the underside via the removable panels. I'm trying to Make it as accessible as possible but with the least amount of effort required from the smithy.

Regarding the rads, as it isn't correctly measured up yet it may look like there is a lot of room however I may find that I have less room when ive worked out all the correct measurements. Looking at the Red harbinger desk they could only fit 360mm down the sides and that was my thinking thus far.
 
This of course is going to take time, my biggest task is making this desk detachable and getting all the measurements exact which ive never been the best at lol. I'll get there, the company willing to make it seem positive which is a bonus
