This is “The Desk!!!”

The idea was originally conceived as a solution to my lack of furniture and a decent computer. Unlike the modifications most computer users make to their case, for The Desk I focuses on the case being more than something pretty to look at. The computer components are house inside the surface of the desk, viewed through a thick piece of Plexiglas. Custom monitor mounts attach directly to the frame of the table, leaving the entire systems footprint comparable to many laptops.

Despite this The Desk features:

2x Ultra 550w Power supply
Intel Q6600 2.4 @ 3.5
4 × 2gb Corsair DDR2 Memory
HIS HD2900 XT 512mb
SB X-Fi Elite Pro
Hard Drives – 150gb WD Raptor
2× 500gb WD in Raid 0
320gb Seagate
250gb WD

In addition to the internal Hard drive The desk features a special mount with a separate, detachable hard drive cluster called “The Tower!!!” This was done to allow the hard disks to be shut off individually and only used when needed. Across 5 disks (with room for 1 more) this gives The Desk an extra 1.9 Terabytes, making the grand total 3.62TB.

The Desk was made completely from scratch, mostly square steel tubing, and steel plating from our local steel yard. I have no idea how much it weighs. Most likely well over 500lbs.
