Project - Alternate (Custom PC Desk Build)

Wont look like it, but i spent hours making the final progress log vid lol
check it out & let me know your thoughts so far,
its 99% completed now, just a couple more updates to post then the final pics will be up shortly after.

You will have seen more than is shown in the vid, but also some things you wont have seen yet :)

 
I have been following this build elsewhere. I didn't realise that you were here as well. Great job, stunning build quality. Thanks for showing us your pride and joy.
 
This is the side compartment completed, redone the leather cover & added extra carpet to the sides, also has
its own LED lighting to help see whats inside
I have a USB port for the ASUS TUF Detective & a 5 port USB 3.0 adapter.

I originally only had super bright white LEDs on the 2 corners, after seeing how it looks all completed & decided to add RGB option, It looks great!
should have added them from the start, still keeping the super bright white LEDs as there great for back/room lighting.

This build is just epic !!!

Thanks Crap :D
BTW, what games are you crap at?
maybe if I add you as a friend you can help me look better ;)

Oh yeah, that side pocket looks MINT, just like everything else in this build!

lol hello again Bart, just reply to your other comment,
thanks, glad you like it
I had some other plans for the sides & some other bits but don't have the time to do them yet.
Some people said the desks not practical :(
but I think its very practical for me now as I have lots of extra space to hide all my clutter :D

wanted to have the final pics up by this weekend, unfortunately I'm still waiting for my KB to arrive.
maybe next week?

lol, I avoid playing games I suck at when anyone's looking :D
 
This will be the last update before the final photos :(
just awaiting the keyboard, new screen & Iv also ordered a new DSLR camera.


Not planing to change mouse for now, so iv modded the "Reaper" mouse to go with the new theme,
Black with red lighting & rather than changing the LEDs (approximately 5) I used filters.

stuck with white for the front, red was too dull against the black mouse mat.

This is why I need a new camera, the logo & mouse should be a nice red like knight-riders car

Added the dye (Mayhems Blood Red)
under white lighting its red, other lighting options make it more black looking just like
real blood looks at night,
I like this effect, but im sure I will test some other dye options at some point as this
is the 1st time iv used clear hard tubes.

in the back you can see the re-worked fan covers, now flat black with the centres sanded clear to capture light.

Hope to be back very soon with the final photos,
:)
 
Well after what feels like years, the desk is finally done & photographed for all to see :)

firstly, I think picking RED as my main colour was a mistake!
not for me, as it looks fine IRL, but I just cant get the reds to show correct on the photos,
So any photos that have what looks like PINK or ORANGE lighting please try imagine that its RED lol

because of this problem I decided to take most photos with blue or white lighting on & cut down on the reds used :(

I plan on getting a new camera later so will upload some more if they look any better,
For now I have plenty of OK photos for you to look at & a youtube vid will be done over the next couple of weeks.


It will be mostly picture links now, so I will say thanks to everyone for the input during my logs & the positive attitudes that
help encourage myself & others to keep on building & posting,

Thanks to all the people that helped me carry things around due to my leg problem,
Carl, Barry, Ian, Andreas & lots more, especially the wife.
& all the sponsors that help with the costs of components & support throughout the build.


This desk was designed with the hope it would look as good OFF as it would on, so it was all about shapes & natural light,
I have very little light in my small room as you will see soon lol.
with the shapes came the problem of usability & practicality,
i tackled this in a couple of ways, not all perfect but enough to hide/store my clutter & make the desk usable for daily tasks
like gaming :D


I know its a bit whack compared to most desks, but I hope you like the final result even if you wouldn't want it in your living-room :)


lets crack on so I can get some sleep!
