BurntNewt reacted to Lord Mirdalan in I need help with making a desk for my pc
If you have access to a welder and some basic metalworking tools, I would use aluminum square tubing. Maybe 1.5" x 1.5" x .0625" wall, or something similar.
If metal's not your thing, you could build a frame from dimensional lumber, like this:
It's not the most stable design, but could be build with about 4 tools in a few evenings.

Most mATX boards that aren't super cheap support 4 RAM slots so this should be fine.
Don't get the GPU if you don't need it, but unless your PSU is a great model an upgrade would be fine. This one has a 5-year warranty.

if you have an old laptop hard drive with an os you can use it in a 2.5 bay as a boot drive it will be slower than a 3.5 though
