When the pc is on it will light up so you can see in, when off you cant

Will also be a racing sim with g27 (if money permits it) and a Key start for computer.

Wrapping around the outer edge will be brushed alluminum ill be making with RGB lights under that

Whole thing will have sound proof matts.

Fans will be silverstone AP 122

Awesome. So there will be LEDs inside to light up the system when its on i assume, so it can be seen through the glass.

The one way mirror is a really nice idea. Just don't go over the top with LEDs in order to keep it looking clean and not too flashy.

Your desk stands out because of the L-shape, I haven't seen that in many cases.

Resolution is a word. 5 is a number.

I'll work on selling my legoes today, I can get around 800USD from all of them. That will be a nice boost to this project

Hmm, I just got sudden thoughts that I may want to do something else. Something small. A desk cant be moved. But im not sure when I would move my PC. Im not sure. I might want to make a custom matx/itx case instead of a desk. What should I do?

Ill go with desk still

Do you have access to a laser cutter? I could give you the SVG files for my motherboard tray if you like. Can't quite guarantee the holes will line up perfectly but it seems alright so far.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

No, i dont really have any tools other than hand tools. Ill either make the MB tray or take it from my phantom 410

You could. I probably will too at some point later on, but BitFenix is cheaper where I am. For the first iteration of my build though, I'll stick with ghettosleeving with electrical tape. Just putting it out there - that's also a viable option if you're on a tight budget.
