NZFF

A project I started last July Thread Link I have been tweaking to finally come up with this, a computer in a desk;
Sanded back desk,oiled and replaced with new brass fittings and fitted with parts which I was able to get from a NZ site called Modster PC

Desk Closed Up


Computer In Top Draw

Just open draw and insert new hardware.

Desk Opened Up Ready For Flight Sim


x3 fans, 1 on hard drives, graphics card and CPU

On/Reset Buttons and "cool-panel" which monitors temperatures,fans and multi input slots like usb,photo cards etc



Cupboard containing external DVD writer and sub


Close up of fan in a brass style to match mahogany desk brass fittings.

All fans have dust filters on back which I have found to be very effective.

hahaha brilliant job mate , im doing my own (boring, non-cupboard) custom job, id be happy to share my experiences too

Wow that has come along well

I just love this one ... no more cases ... mobo design changes wont affect this thing , many component maintance .. a breeze!

Excuse the basic question but where are the CD/DVD drives? Looks cool. The only issue I can see is that your fan control and temp monitoring is obscured by the drop down cupboard door. Other than that I love it.

another stupid question, how is the Mobo mounted??, and how do you cope with the heat from under it??

count 10 for warm, and 1 for cold from my family , the cold one is from my uncle who is a kiwi

Well Done

Nice Job

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
External DVD drive in cupboard, so turn on when needed, next to sub see pic 6
Motherboard mounted on metal plate which replaces wooden bottom draw.
Heat issues? whats wrong with 50C, keeps me warm in winter and beer keeps me cool in summer.
There's 6 fans in that draw.

ahh i see

all-in-all its a great idea and i hope it goes well over the next little while. you definetly increased the re-sale value of that desk
