DIY computer in the desk

Greetings, Habr! I am a fan of the PC in the table, I have been doing it for a long time and today I want to show you my new project.

The most compact and thin Computer on the table that I did.



A friend asked me to make a PC for him in the table, but with unusual dimensions and high requirements.

He had a corner from which he wanted to make himself a compact, game setup.



The dimensions of this area are 93 by 160 cm.



Customer wishes: The

dimensions of the table are 92 by 65 cm.
Inside should fit good iron, with a liquid cooling system.

Two radiators of 360 mm.

Cover the countertop with a single piece of leather.

On the front of the countertop are two USB 3.0 and a full-fledged card reader.

At the back, add sixteen USB 3.0

Color matte black, red stripes on the legs.

Add a dock with buttons to the countertop.

The first button turns on the power supply, the second button turns on the PC itself, and the remaining four buttons to control the lighting in its room.



I made a countertop, in dimensions it is 92 by 65 cm. A

countertop with a mechanism, the glass can rise and fall to easily replace or maintain components.



Made guides for the mechanism and casings.





I figured out how to make a removable dock with buttons.

The base will be attached at the bottom of the countertop, and let the cables from the buttons through the internal cable channel. The client can easily replace the buttons if he wants something new.



The most difficult is the foundation.

Minimal area, but everything should fit inside and cool well.

1 and 2 are 360 ​​mm radiators for cooling the processor and video card.

3 and 4 are trays for SSD and HDD.

5 is a casing for the power supply, Wi-Fi module, cable synchronizer and controllers.

6 is a false panel with a motherboard and a video card.



I decided to make a double bottom to do cable management and hide all the cables.



Suppose we cut the cable channel in the 24 pin power area and hide the cable inside.

And so I do with each cable what will be in this computer, this is how it turns out to create cleanliness and order inside.



At the very base there is a lot of ventilation.

Under the motherboard and video card, blowing cold air inside and on the sides, six coolers are responsible for blowing hot air.



It took 25 days to make.



I changed the geometry of the legs in this revision and added a new chip.

The insert in the center of the foot is now highlighted. Live, it looks unusual in the dark, but I like it when there is no backlight at all.



I now make the inserts themselves on magnets and they are removable, they can be quickly replaced and the design of my table can be updated.



He made a black table, a year later when he was fed up with you, you removed the insert in the leg and changed it to any other, thereby easily updating the design of your table.



On the front of the countertop, I installed two USB 3.0 and a full-fledged card reader.



And buttons to turn on the PC and control the lighting in the room, as my friend wanted.



The countertop is covered in a single piece of leather, without a single joint.
To the touch a very nice table was obtained.



The table is black, matte, with red stripes on the legs.

The angle of inclination of the countertops can be changed.



The table top rises and you get access to all components, they can easily be replaced or serviced. Everything is done for maximum convenience.



The bracket was made for one monitor, it allows you to move the monitor in all planes and does not take up space on the countertop.



Technical part.

Inside, i9 9900K is installed on the MSI Z390 GAMING PRO CARBON motherboard.



Thermaltake Floe Riing RGB 360 TT is used to cool the processor.

In AIDA 64, I got 73-78 degrees , with the quietest mode of operation of coolers.

The glass tabletop during the peak load on the system "heated up" to 27 degrees.



The noise at peak load (I simultaneously turned on AIDA64 and FurMark) was 35-38 dB.
Distance 40 cm from the table.



The table is delivered to the new owner home.

Here is his setup at the moment.



Soon he will install additional lighting in this corner, change the chair and add shelves for devices.

There is an electric curtain installed.



That's all, thanks for watching!
