Hi all, well its time I started my thread as in a matter of days I will building my new project, project deskcomp.

building the pc into the desk, so using the desk and case for pc.

all the parts and materials are ordered and on way.

I said I but in actual fact its my brother and I, he's a cnc wood machinist so has knowledge on how to put together the parts I cant !!

this will be a 2 desk build as he's cutting for the two of us so should be matching pair.
they will be slighty different as we have different components inside but look and design is excatly same.

materials used:
18mm oak faced mdf, lacquered.
special cut and toughened (just in case).
hdd cage's from antec 900.
will cut out motherboard tray from each of our pc's to seat and protect motherboard.

fans:
each deskcomp will have:
1 x 180mm silverstone air penetrator.
3 x fractal design 140mm.

lighting:
AC Ryan TWIN10 CCFL Light , red for mine/blue for brothers

front bays:
each deskcomp will have:
1 x Lian Li 5.25" Multi Media I/O Port Panel Black : BZ-U01B.
1 x Zalman ZM-MFC1 Plus Fan Controller
1 x dual layer dvd drive (will upgrade to blueray when money grows again!).
1 x Scythe Kama Bay Amp Kro : SDA-1100 .

components inside will vary due to having different specs.

designed on google sketchup and checked over by brother for measurements and dimensions.

so this is it for now untill the components arrive and wood is cut and ready to be assembled.

looks good but where the front bays are. isn't that gonna get in the way of your knees coming that far down or am i looking at the design wrong?
 
They are abit but not to much, its designed on my current desk which is only slighty smaller, but im 6.2 and got long legs! so gonna have to move out the way anyway.

Just received my h50 :D the parts coming in slowly but surely !
 
I remember seeing this by UnknownLobster on youtube well he didn't log it like his latest builds because it was done a long time ago but it turned out pretty sweet here.

Good luck to you, subscribed :)
 
using stuff in sig except the true 120 as thats being swapped for h50 with 2x apache fans (bought from mm :D)

brothers spec will be:
Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H AMD 880G (Socket AM3)
AMD Athlon II X2 Dual Core 250 3.00GHz (Socket AM3)
Patriot G Series Sector 5 4GB
power supply 550w ocuk modular
win xp (soon to be win7)
