Desk PC Build pt1 - feedback.

[JYoung]

I finally have the funds to start my build and need some feedback.

 

I've been looking at updesk frames and been debating between using that or an hydraulic work bench frame.

 

I haven't seen any specifications on frame load for updesk or wiring diagrams which concerns me.

 

And I plan on having a minimum of 3 curved gaming monitors along with plywood construction so weight and structural durability are a concern.

 

I'm leaning toward hydraulic but wanted the communities feedback and thoughts.

Maybe there's a better way.

 

This will be a large desk.

You're probably going to want to go with the more industrial option as it sounds as though there's going to be a lot of weight on the desk

 

Although you should really just get 4k displays, they'd cost less and give you more pixels, however if you were really stuck on 3 ultra wide displays, then you'd save $200 per display going free-sync vs g-sync, refresh rate just isn't as high, dunno how the overclocking is on the free-sync versions

Free-sync 75Hz $950

G-sync 100hz $1200

Yea, I've been struggling with that also and I can probably always upgrade later, I know 4k oled curved tv's are already on the market so I'm hoping monitors aren't far behind.

 

But yea, there's a potential for allot of weight, I guess having the support for future add-ons and modifications + being unique might be nice.

OLED monitors are a good deal off, but It were me, gotta go with 3 massive 4k displays

 

barnacules went that route as well, though he went with 50 inch TVs
