Bingo

Otherwise I would be sitting with my knees squished and my arms above my head lol, well not quite.

Yeh this seems to be the major flaw with a lot of in-desk builds - for a desk to be comfortable you have to get your knees under it, which leads to to surface being uncomfortable for use. I like the way you designed your way around it.

As a graduate that hasn't secured a job yet my sense of money is a little twisted. Just out of curiousity, are you a gajizillionaire?

SavellM · 2 Jul 2013 at 16:51

Unfortunately no...
Altho I wish

I did sell a server, and some stocks to fund this project.
Still need to sell some more stuff to make up the difference lol.

Thanks for the pics and update. White memory tho?

Looking good and love the covered Sabertooth motherboards!

Great looking project, puts me to shame when I see all the DIY skills that other people have!

OT but did I spy a Technics Digital Piano (PX series?) in one of your earlier pics?

SavellM · 3 Jul 2013 at 14:48

Honestly I have no idea

Its my missis... I cannot play to save my life.

I'll take a look tonight and report back.

Well done sir.

New parts are looking good in the desk!

Forgive me for being a noob to desk PC buildind or if it has been mentioned already but what do you use to replace the cables and buttons that would usually come from a case itself like power on and reset. I have an old CD mixing DJ box that would be ideal for a PC build but I dont know how to replace all the functions of the case.

Wow, very impressive work. I've just spent the last hour at least looking through this whole thread.

I wish I had the time, cash and ability to do something like this for myself. Maybe one day...

Look forward to seeing it completed

SavellM · 15 Jul 2013 at 14:49

Sorry...
Hasn't been much progress.

I have done some smaller builds will show pics in a bit.
