PC Desk case

Scruffy90

I am looking to change my desk. I have out grown the one I currently have (Ikea Bekant left side L. Also barely fits both of my ultrawides.) and was looking to see if it was worth building a pc desk case. The only ones I keep stumbling upon are the Lian-Li ones. While I don't doubt that they are of good quality, I am not looking to spend 1000+ on a desk, nor do I have the need for a dual system desk as I saw with one of their offerings.

 

Does anyone have any recommendations for a case desk?

Let 1 get built for your needs and build a pc inside yourself. Prebuilt desks will never work all that well if you want custom stuff.

Well define "Desk Case." To me, that could mean anything from bolting a motherboard and some PCI Brackets to the underside of a table all the way to that crazy custom liquid cooled thing Linus has in his office. Is there anything in particular drawing you to a desk pc or do you just want a bigger desk with more space?

Get a bigger Ikea desk. You can make ones that are massive with the kitchen countertops.

Worth is subjective. It's considerably more expensive for next to no gain. So to me, no, it's not worth it. Someone else will have a completely different answer.
