Desk

 

USB Hub

 

Cup Holder

 

On/Off Switch

 

I've been using Linux to game on my laptop for a few years.  I mostly play single player games and that is not a problem for me.  I figured I would do a stealth build without an RGB focus, so I wouldn't have to worry about manufacturer eco system lock in.  The only things on the top of the desk would be the monitor, mouse, keyboard, on/off switch, and USB hub.  My plan is to use the cabinet in the desk to house/hide the PC.  The test bench case would make it easy to set up outside the desk to test the build and do later cleaning/maintenance.  The on/off switch would rest on the desktop with an inset dremeled to size for the key switch and a channel for the cable.  I would drill holes for the 200mm intake and 140mm outflow in the desk and cover with magnetic dust covers.  The screws would be removed from the cup holder clamp and the cup holder would be screwed directly into the side of the desk.

 

Does this sound like a viable plan?  Any thoughts from anyone who has done something similar.

sounds like a fine plan as long as you get airflow down
