DIY Desk PC

[govindjoshi]

Hello everyone!

I am brand new to this forum, and I am glad to have joined, for I have seen several useful tips and tricks here and there that I couldn't find elsewhere/ Anyways, I am going to jump straight to the point. I want to create my own desk PC, but I have little experience with woodworking, nor does my dad. After quite a bit of research, I created blueprints for myself (attached). My main question is, how will I provide power to the fans on either side of the desk? It seems near impossible, for the length of the fan connectors is often just 6" or less. I was going to use a silverstone fan hub, but it still does not fix the power problem. One other concern is what exactly I will put on the right side of the desk. Do you have any recommendations or ideas? Finally, if there are any problems with the rest of the plan, please feel free to point them out! Thank you very much for taking the time to help me!

You can run 3 pin fan extender cords from your mobo or your fan controller.They look like this.

What are you planning on putting in the big ? area? without doing watercooling it leaves quite an empty space. I'm just curious if you plan to put an trinkets or other components in that location?

I honestly do not know, but I was thinking of putting a couple of family photos. I'm open to suggestions though!
