Making a PC desk, Ideas wanted

I'm building a desk pc that will be largely inspired by l3p (Peter Brands) and red harbinger (more specifically the cross desk). It will feature 2 systems One for gaming and video editing and a second for streaming and maybe some 3D modeling (perhaps some lan via a HDMI to a 65" TV I have near my setup area). Everything will be liquid cooled, I haven't decided between PETG or Acrylic yet (I don't want to do any softer tubing cuz hardline looks sexy as hell). I'm thinking 3 rads 690ml (something like this). I'm also thinking 2x 480 rad's (not sure of thickness) and 2 360 rads. I have sketches here. Some more ideas I had were a basement under the main compartment with like Hydraulic things to keep the hatch from hitting the floor, the basement would be for any motherboard cables and power supply cables. I also was thinking of a separate compartment by the back end (as seen in sketches) for the power supply and a grommet that goes to the top of the desk for monitor cables and keyboard/mouse etc. I have 3D models that can be opened in sketchup (or sketchup viewer) here. Sorry for the rant please leave any suggestions.   

 

Edit: The desk will be made out of maple plywood by the way (can get other materials additional to that but I already do own a decent amount of maple plywood) Forgot to say it will have a glass top as well

 

Edit 2: Deciding to call it project Avian, idk why but I like the name, if anyone has any name suggestions let me know :)

Inbuilt channels for cable management so the underside of your desk doesn't look like a hairball and show off some sexy sleeved cabled

My advise:

I understand the you would like some feedback. l3p is a good and know builder off custom PC. But I think that I can only help you with my new experiences, if you can a specific-er question.

Other ways I can say: look at other build-logs and learn from them. Second if you ask for help, make it as easy as possible. Add picture even if it are renders or hand-drawings.
