So I was about to build a desk for that of my senior project, the desk also will be a chassis for a computer, I will be upgrading the following into it:
Gaming PC Components: 
R7 7 1700 4.2ghz oc 

32 gb 3200 Ram Kit
Kraken x62 Rev (swapping out for water cooling)

1tb m.2

EVGA 1080 Ti 2.00mhz 
2tb hdd
Silent wing bequiet! fans

850w Platinum rated EVGA power supply
Asus Crosshair VI hero mobo 


Extra: 

QI charger
Amazon fire tablet (adding sensors for cpu temps, reminders, notifications, etc)

What's needed is a wood type for aesthetics ?

Ideas to incorporate storage as in organizing storage ?

 

Ideas for the rad sizes intake and out takes ?

 

Should I incorporate that of ergonomics such as a 45 degree tilt? 
Wire management ideas ?
Should I include that of a motorized height system or zero gravity spring based system ?
Should I do one of the extended pci for graphics card placement ?

 

Project Name maybe (if you have ideas) ?  

Thanks in advance this is help for my senior project, most things are bought by the school, the wood is given free by lowes if not on discount for dirt cheap, and most companies allow discounts for this project

1. You will do very well to get a Ryzen 1700 @ 4.2ghz, I mean REALLY well - if you have then hats off

 

2. You will probably have stability issues or have to reduce ram speed to run 32gb @ 3200mhz

 

3. You don't have to use a whole tablet (just a suggestion here) - I used a small 5" HDMI LCD

(ive sprayed the outer metal white now as well)

 

4. rad sizes - I guess it depends on the size of the desk and what pump you use, more fittings and rads create restrictions which need a stronger pump. If you got a good pump, hell go with a few 360mm rads if you have the funds, more rads = more cooling = lower fan speeds :)

 

5. If I was to do a desk build I would use storage either side of the desk and make those into the desks legs, imagine a small chest of 3 or 4 drawers either side, or small shelves 

 

6. Wire management, I would create a false floating floor in the bottom of it. All the wires could then be threaded through holes and routed beneath the false floor to all the components.

 

7. For wood, MDMF is about the best for something like this as it is cheap and pretty strong. Just paint it a gloss colour when you've finished. If you filthy rich, use oak xD

 

8. Not sure about name ?

If you can use some sort of see through window, that would be ideal, as aesthetically it looks the best IMO

 

I wouldnt use pine. Just looks cheap. If it's not something you have control over becasue it's donated by lowes, use stain or Vinyl wrap.

Show off SSD locations

 

Rads? Dunno

 

Keep it flat

False floor like Stealth80 suggested

Keep it simple, keep it stupid. If you want adjustable height, use some sort of leg slotted design where you "set it and forget it". 

I would, PCI-E risers dont degrade the performance of your gpu (up until like 9 feet) so you're good

 

Project name? Dunno

 

Here's an example:
