I am happy as all heck with this desk...it is nice and comfy and I have alot of room for my long legs to get under it with the controllers.

BTW how is your build coming along??? I would love to see some pics of the rig.

Thank you Kermit,

He put a lot of time into the details especially the tightness of the trim around the desk. I figured I would have some flex in the arms but there is very little in them. The only thing I did was with my chair I lifted it up so the controller arms are supported by a little bit so they don't swing away from me as I am trying to turn and get burned. He also made the legs hollow so when i get my monitors permanently mounted I can hide all the wires from view. I will post pics as I get that finished.

Thanks guys, it was fun to build. It was a challenge to get all his request fulfilled and still try to keep the style of the desk open and still maintain enough strength to hold the triple monitor set-up.

It is nice to see so many who appreciate hard work.

It's designing and building custom things like this that make woodworking so challenging and fun. It actually relaxes me.

To add to what EB has already said it is also designed to be able to disassemble to 5 main parts (the legs and the top with frame). The top can also be separated from the frame very easily in case something happens where it would need to be changed.

Thanks again guys for such nice compliments.  :aok

Thanks TC

There is a platform with casters included with the desk that the tower fits onto.

Once he gets the extension cable that he needs to get the last monitor connected he can get the tower on that platform (which will be on the floor) and hide his cables inside the legs of the desk. The casters will allow him to move it around easily when he needs to make changes, especially since he seems to be changing his configuration frequently. :D

BTW: If anyone is interested this can be broken down, boxed, shipped anywhere.  :D

space is an issue (barely enough room on my desk for my monitor, Phanotm and X52  :( I dont have a digital camera, and i havent yet played with my DROID uploading photos to Photobucket. Provided I Can get my way I will have a lot more room by the end of school... but im not crossing my fingers. money is tight for materials, and due to recent issues in the house (involving my brother and mom) I plan on moving out as soon as i can afford an apartment or a friend gets one. I have been wanting to get pictures up since i first put it together in April or May, but its hard to find time when there is no time.

I have nothign amazing in my build other then the case (for now.) in the future i plan on adding much more and making my case and fans worth my money other then to say i have it  :rock



everything is dependent on the next few months though, if i can find the time to figure out a neater space on my desk for my case, monitor and X52 i will deffinitly work on getting pics up.



It's designing and building custom things like this that make woodworking so challenging and fun. It actually relaxes me.

im in the same boat. my dad has all the tools, but not much space. My shop has all the tools, but space is also limited at school...and being the most talented in the class im stuck doing the odd jobs for teachers. its relaxing though making something that takes a few weeks though and seeing the end product.  :banana:
