Join me as I build my dream desk. I did my best to pull out all the stops on this project. It's hiding a lot of features including a water-cooled video editing (and gaming) PC mounted in a vertical drawer. The desk is made from solid walnut with waterfall ends on both sides. The drawer fronts are also solid walnut with integrated door pulls, making for a super clean look.

Awesome build Zac! Some great tips in there....making repeatable cuts, marking the drawer fronts, setting the slides....well done!

@ZacBuilds 4 года назад

Thanks Chris! I do my best to keep things as informative as possible. Believe it or not, there were a lot of tips that ended up on the cutting room floor. I think this video was 2 hours long after the first rough cut! haha

Much better than all those look-a-like Ikea setup,Ikea is fine for most folks,but nothing like individuality in your own desk pc setup.

@ZacBuilds 4 года назад

Thanks! I've had a lot of Ikea desks in my day, and there's nothing wrong with them, but I really wanted to challenge myself on this one and do something different. I spend so much time at this desk, it's worth it to really set it up just the way I want. Cheers!

@jamesh9466 2 года назад

I love the desk and looks beautiful but in my opinion, as someone who works on his computer every day, I would ditch the keyboard drawer and lower the desk a tad so it's at a good height for the keyboard to be on the top of the desk. I'm definitely going to do something similar when I remake my desk.

@mysterOrel7924 3 года назад

I live in a area near to the sea and the amount of sea breeze is just ridiculous. A desk PC hardly survive 6 months when you place it in an open area in the house. So I plan on making a desk similar to this one in a place where the I control the air flow and place some dehumidifiers in it in a year or so In Sha Allah. Thanks for sharing this project.

@dlaczegotakpowazny1474 3 года назад

You are a pure genious. Have been watching multiple DIY wood stuff, and you are the only one using your brain, not only expensive tools for every little thing. The way you use protruding screws and hit the wood, to stamp the mounting holes - amazing. The way you use just ordinary paiting tape, to mark and transfer any mounting points - hoo lee fook. Eneryone else is just forcing you to buy their useless "tools", and you just do what you love.

@Erowens98 3 года назад

Should totally get a sprayer. You can get a decent enough compressor/sprayer combo for 100$. And it makes life infinitely easier. You'll spend half as much time sanding. Though keep in mind a gas mask is essential for spraying unless you have great ventilation, and even then it's recommended. Those fumes are no joke.

@brianhurst9455 3 года назад

Nice design! One thing that may cause an issue in a few years is that the solid wood will expand and contract with changes in humidity but the plywood won't. The screw holes on the outside edge should be oversized to allow for this wood movement.

Man, that is a seriously beautiful desk!! I love the integration of the PC within the desk. I need to build a new desk as well and I thought about just building a small matching cart to set my tower on to save some room on the desktop and still let it have proper airflow. Speaking of, the vents on the front look great. I wonder if it would be beneficial to add a removable dust filter behind the vent. Great job, Zac. New sub!

@ZacBuilds 4 года назад

Wow, sorry for my slow response!, don't know how I missed this. I really appreciate the kind words! I didn't include it in the video due to time constraints but there actually is a dust filter that sits between the front of the drawer and the front of the rad, so we are definitely on the same wave length there :)

@FinlandApollo 3 года назад

Awesome looking desk! Keep in mind: Never ever run your screws to radiator with power tool as there's a risk that you accidentally run the screw far and puncture the fin. That mess ain't fun! :D Suggestion for the cable management and possibly rev2.0 of the PC side of the desk: Why not offset it bit more to the right so there's "excess space" behind the motherboard, where you could have cable tie mounts? Then you could drill holes for the cables and run them behind the motherboard so that they are tightly together with cable ties? But overall: damn nice table! Love the simple but very functional form of it!
