I’ve seen PCs incorporated into desks before, but not executed like this. USFORCES decided he wanted more working space on his desktop. He designed a new desk that would accommodate his tweeked Q9650 system from a Thermaltake tower that consumed his space. The new desk is constructed from 3/4″ thick Oak Plywood sheets. Take a tip from this guy, If you ever plan your own water cooled desk, incorporate a custom reservoir in the front and a glass top working surface. These features are brilliant. I was just imagining the possibilities if “Ek WaterBlocks and “Thomasville” joined forces to offer something like this.
The concept before reality.
The desk was constructed from 3/4″ thick Oak Plywood.
The single 120 and 360 radiator and pumps reside behind the reservoir door.
The hardware is hidden behind the desk door.
The custom built acrylic dual loop reservoir.
A view of the “BFG twins” through the surface top window. The UV & Green Leds created a great effect.
The tubing escapes into the shelf.
