PC desk mod

Hello all

Following will be a wall of text, so sorry about that. I will ad a TL;DR at the end, for those who will read, thanks and enjoy

I've always wanted to have a beast PC, ever since I bought my first gaming PC 2 years back. (I've been PC gaming from way before that but on crappy things. and yes, I bought a pre-built PC which I am still regretting ever since )

I recently upgraded my already good PC and I think I have quite the specs atm (see signature for details) but I want more than specs now. I've been more into the looks of my PC than the actual specs lately. I already spent a butt load of money on specially sleeved cables, matching fans, matching LED's, matching case, etc.. but I want more. Something other people don't have.

That's why I started Googling "PC mods" and came across these desks that have a PC inside them. Not the ones with a glass top and a full water loop under them. (I am planning on getting water loops but not any time soon as I have plans abroad) But a desk mod like this PIC. (Just the idea, I think this mod looks very "meh" and I want to aim for something 1000x better)

So why am I posting this here? I already drew something (very basic, my drawing skills are over 9000) in Photoshop and I'd like to have your opinions/thoughts/suggestions/etc. Pics and further explanation below:

Front view: Left side is just a little cabinet to put shit in. The center will be a double compartment where my cables from monitors go. The right side will be where my PC is and another small cabinet where I put my games and PS4 in. (Those 4 holes will be in/out fans, not sure yet how to regulate airflow)

Top view: (That spaghetti is supposed to be my cables ) On the right is a window where I'll be able to see my PC. (Just like the side window of a tower.)

PC side top view: I probably will put my mobo this way. (I will cut out the mobo tray/hdd tray and other mounting systems from an existing tower and place those into the desk. That way I don't have any issues screwing in all the things.)

Other than this I don't have anything more to offer yet. I've been working on this idea for just a few days but thought I'd ask for opinions/help here very soon in the process.

The name, because every epic PC mod should have a name, "Project Prometheus" ! It's somewhat futuristic sounding and rolls nice. (I did a quick Google search and I don't think there are any other PC mods out there with this name. Correct me if I'm wrong)

If you have opinions/ideas/suggestions/etc for my mod, please comment on this thread. They are much appreciated!

I also have no idea yet where I'm gonna put my PSU/HDD/SSD. I figured I'd hide PSU/HDD and proudly show my SSD.

TL;DR: I'm gonna put my PC into a custom made desk, please help.
