[@Zoranurai13]

Add sandals to those socks for additional swag. Great desk

[@danielmarques5469]

beat me to it. that sock though...

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

Those socks were a joke gift from the Mrs ;)

[@Corummo]

YetAnotherTechChannel horrible joke though. 😂

[@Brennah07]

joris yauw is swag still a word today? So lame lol

[@ByGraceThroughFaith777]

hey no shame in da game

[@kjemradio]

I never thought of building such a desk. Such a space saver, and the ease of replacing components with a design like this is a game changer. Even for a first time build I commend you good sir in a job well done!

[@kylekeogh2731]

7:12 "I ordered some of that steel mesh that ricers use to make their Hondas go faster" YOU ARE MY NEW FAVORITE PERSON

[@woodforged.i.y.9344]

All the dislikes are from the Honda ricers lol. That comment made my day :)

[@moham7ad]

just scrolled down to the comment section to say the same thing, but saw your comment lmao

[@alexnelson8]

Your toe socks are pretty sweet too.

[@dregsta]

For a daily driver , Honda’s are very well built.

[@dregsta]

@Internet Guy i have a 2010 si bought new and have 52k kms on it. No major problems so far except for a evap check engine light while my wifes 2014 honda accord had a starter problem at 45k. I used to like honda but I think they are banking on their name instead on building quality cars like they did in the past. Not planning of getting rid of my si considering all the new tech that they are putting in new cars is only asking for major headaches on the long run

I'm still struggling with my new desk, watching videos for days now to get ideas. Your's is one of the best clean works I've see so far.

[@iriestorm1508]

"That ricers use to make their Hondas go faster" That caught me off guard and definitely made me laugh! Loved the build btw

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

:D

[@marupengod]

As a honda driver for daily commute i have to say i was on the floor rolling when i heard that lol

[@r2awes]

That line earned you a subscriber. Poland can into really nice desks.

[@LDBaha]

Did he mean to say 'Racers use to make their Hondas go faster' ?

[@iriestorm1508]

Nah, he meant ricer, it's a term used in the car world to define those that do cosmetic mods and think it makes their car faster, or who try to act like they know everything but in fact don't know shit. It stands for race inspired cosmetic enhancement, and most of the time it's a Honda.

[@ReCyke]

Already stated but; Clear narration - clean cuts (Video editing and metal-work). Quite an upgrade from previous bench. You now have a "real" desk.

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

Yeah, it's so much better :) ...and my DIY vids will also benefit from this change - my new workbench is rock solid.

[@haroldwilson8544]

"hand-held CNC machine" - LOL! Love it!

[@JustAnotherGamer1005]

Nice, finally one that is achievable and materials that can be found in DIY stores. Some of these kinds of videos use stuff you can't even find or are expensive as hell.

[@JamesSareth]

Wow those socks ! :D Very beautiful desk.

[@uhavemooface]

Jackie chan has socks like those.

[@yogeshbadgire]

This is the most beautiful, modern and sophisticated desk PC I have ever seen.

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

Thanks so much for kind words :D

[@toast1797]

Your diy skills are awesome. You projects are way cleaner that anyone on KZbin. Keep up the good work! Want to see you make an elegant AIO PC (vesa mounted)

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

It's on my list... just need to source a monitor, since I don't want to experiment with my precious ultrawide Dell ;)

[@arthurdemelosa]

That title really got my attention. My eyes get hurt with all those RGB strips teenagers love all around their house: it starts on the PC, then the whole desk, then the rest of their bedroom... I wonder if it is possible to use the PC with the lights off... Nice build. I loved it. I'm currently planning a desk PC too, but it will take some years to get built, as I have just married and building it is not a top priority now. Again: I loved the project. And I'm subbing right now. Best regards from Brazil.

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

Thanks and congrats! :)

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

The original SketchUp model is up for grabs for a limited time for as little as $1 at www.patreon.com/yatc Thermal performance, noise levels, dust issues and powering on are covered in the setup tour video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpeykIR4hNSDfMk

[@MinehowTech]

YetAnotherTechChannel i would make one with 1080 sli

[@jacksonleath9938]

What was the overall price of this desk

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

All the parts cost around $270.

[@jacksonleath9938]

YetAnotherTechChannel thanks btw I love the build

[@Nebujin383]

Really nice! How long did it take you to build it? If you mentioned this in the video, then i missed that part ^^

[@CrapE_DM]

So glad to see someone make a custom enclosure that doesn't include RGB (that you wouldn't even get to see anyway) or liquid cooling.

[@brandalab]

5:00 ..... What are thooooooose?????? :p

[@Aikano9]

Gloves for you foot

[@Aurora-nd1zs]

Toes?

[@philtabest]

Lol, I saw them at about 5:05. I had to go back because I thought they were Ikea branded socks.

[@cosmicjohn174]

Got em! Zinger!

[@19Blackskills97]

Foot gloves socks gloves

[@Angra-L1001]

The most space-saving PC I've ever seen!

[@larryg3326]

Thanks for the video! Nice desk and magnificently done PC drawer. Just picked up the materials for my (much simpler) work table and you've inspired some specification creep.

[@jimpiunti]

You've inspired me twice today. First, with the mini ITX custom case build - I was fretting about finding an exact 'cube' case that I could use as the lower level to a Tardis case I was going to mod for my wife. Your bent aluminum approach showed me that I can mod the whole 'Police Box' fairly easily. But this desk case solves another problem. I have a beloved computer desk with a very wide, but otherwise useless keyboard drawer. I'm going to use the steel mesh approach to build a drawer insert for mounting discreet components. Since I love tinkering with the PC, this will allow me to pull out the drawer and admire my rig... Thanks - sometimes the simplest DIY approach is the best, even if cool cases are available at reasonable prices. Nothing beats home grown... :-)

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

Thanks very much! Your comment just made my day :)

[@yatagarasu1495]

youtube recommended me this video. I cant even build an ikea chair. but bro, that looks sexy as fuck. i wish i could do shit like this. keep up the good work

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

Thanks :) It isn't that hard... ;)

[@fourleafcloverr3135]

all the tool you had, i didn't even knew some of them existed, and their name, i'm french so half of what you said i didn't understood it, can you put all tools you used in the description please ?

[@sburge1989]

I have been thinking of building something similar since seeing a Ron Paulk video about a plywood desk that sits on legs similar the shape you used. Yours has a much more attractive aesthetic.

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

Aesthetics is my first priority ;)

[@MatthewEncina]

Great build. Curious, where did you buy the steel mesh for the drawer?

[@BlatentlyFakeName]

I mounted my PC inside a solid oak cabinet with a slide out draw for the keyboard+mouse :D The hardest part is cable management and making it neat. I thought cooling would be an issue but that was the easy part, with only 2x 120mm fans on the rear blowing in it already runs cooler than inside my Corsair case! The cool air being sucked in forces the warm air out of the gaps at the front.

[@gregtockner]

Absolutely killed it. That desk is awesome!

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

Thanks very much :)

[@costastud]

Mannn, that is the cleanest desk pc build. Looks awesome in that drawer

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

Thanks much :)

[@stewart8424]

That's not a CNC it's a trim router an CNC stands for computer numerical control

[@CHEF2077]

I was about to write: "wait did he just say CNC?" xD

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

Duly noted ;)

[@devinhaisma]

Stewart Your profile photo perfectly match with your comment. 😂😂😂

[@olir614]

Duly*

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

Duly noted (and fixed ;)

[@AKRenlor]

Might I suggest 'soft close' drawer bars. They make it so the the drawer closes lightly reducing shock of closing the PC drawer. Loved the build!

[@ivanmowczan1457]

Boziu kochany. Niebo perfekcjonistów - szanuję jak opętany

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

Aż tak?! Czy konieczna będzie interwencja egzorcysty? ;)

[@mepik15]

Jesteś polakiem czy po prostu znasz język polski?

[@Ishi112]

MEPiK programy po polsku, sklepy w Warszawie... Rodak :p

[@mepik15]

Zobaczyłem w dziale "Informacja" że z Polski, nie pasował mi jego akcent, a potem warszawa.. i takie "co jest kurwa? O.o " haha :D

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

Jestem 100% Polakiem ;)

[@AlanGonzalez-om4rr]

motherboard over aluminum with battery on place what a nice idea!

[@brunoporcella7139]

Parabéns pelo projeto! Muito caprichado, bonito e funcional. Abraço

[@Quickblood1]

The problem with this video is it's given me false confidence I can achieve something even close to this. I would so love a setup like this but I would absolutely mess it up if I tried. That is insanely good work, you should rightly be very proud of that.

[@iEzJay]

A product and tool list would be very helpful :)

[@BrookZerihun]

Ikea needs to hire you to design their desk, until that time, many thanks for the video, you have given me so many great ideas

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

You're welcome :D

[@Bally1127]

Im too dumb and lazy to make this

[@DankaDoctor185]

x5

[@wolfgrid984]

x3

[@Bally1127]

I didnt say that, i clearly stated "Im too dumb and lazy to make this". meaning i dont have the time or dedication to make this So unless you cant read, or had no education, it would be impossible to miss that.

[@timothyrummelhoff3119]

Ali Rind provide me with the parts of the PC and the money for the wood and I'll do it for free.

[@Erowens98]

This is not difficult. Most wood work is not difficult. But as with everything, you have to learn how to do it first. This is something most people could build after a couple weeks of practice with the tools.

[@biazacha]

Such a clean, beautiful and functional end result! The lizard brain in me would be tempted to make a small piece of glass countertop to watch all the partes doing their job and toss some LED on it, but sério amazing project I’m in awe

[@callumbolch]

Any chance you'll upload your sketchup files so I can build one without having to do my own measurements etc?

[@CarlosBaracudas]

Callum I would appreciate that too. Want to build my own Desk too. :)

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

I can upload it... but I'm not sure if it's going to be very useful - the drawer has absolutely no details.

[@callumbolch]

whatever info you have would be useful :) overall dimensions etc and the overall design would be a great help - as the video is often a little hard to follow in working out exactly what is attached to where underneath

[@callumbolch]

it looks like it would be useful from what i could see on the video

[@Andrew876was]

Upload!

[@squnxfisher9831]

as a carpenter I'd say that's a nice desk

[@pegasusted2504]

Very nice work but why, when you have put so much effort in to the desk, did you mount the gpu upside down instead of showing off the "nice" side of it?

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

1. It's an OEM Zotac GTX1060 so it has no 'pretty' side. 2. This way GPU fan has better access to outside air. 3. It's not that the desk has window (never!) so I'm not bothered at all... 4. That black PCB is kinda sexy.

[@pegasusted2504]

Have you thought of mounting them at a slight angle so the rear edge of each item is maybe an inch of the horizontal so as to provide a bit of a better viewing angle if you also put a see through top on it, I think that would look kinda cool... oh yeah btw damn those socks are brilliant

[@Eggnog1001]

Thing is the pcie cable can't be twisted that much, certainly not enough to 180 the GPU

[@gary72carol61]

Great Computer Desk, I especially like the draw where the whole PC goes. I don`t have the skills or the tools to do that but wish I did. Dear Santa!

[@XKAYEDX1]

"I ordered some of that steel mesh that RICERS use to make their HONDA go faster" 07:06 ROFL

[@jairm.jr.9991]

Now this is a real DIY video, not the usual "I have a $10k workshop and wanna do something". Great work and editing, great video!

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

I'm really glad to see that someone appreciates my DIYing efforts :D

[@Erowens98]

Most of those "i have a 10k workshop" videos feature a garage with under 1000$ in equipment that has been bought over years as tools are needed, and people who don't know what their talking about just assume they are really expensive.

[@jairm.jr.9991]

Maybe in your country, but actually in Brazil where i reside, things can get pretty expensive really fast. For you to have an idea, a reasonable table saw goes for the 1000$ here.

[@zoxtoPictures]

If u came for the most important thing go to 4:58 ! Thanks me later

[@ChintamaniHelekar]

You've put great amount of work in this desk and it shows. You sir have just earned a sub.

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

Thank you sir :D

[@devilhimself4727]

5:00 WHAT ARE THOOOOOOOSEEE I'm sorry I had to

[@jaanninjabatman1475]

Devilhimself soks... they ae soks....

[@Konigsmask]

This is fantastic. I've been a console player since I was really young, but seeing this build I wanna switch to pc just because this desk is way cool

[@sam083]

Nice Socks, mate!

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

Thanks mate! :)

[@skyem5250]

I'm always super excited to see a new video from you. I was not disappointed here. This is what I subscribed for.

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

Thanks :) I have plenty of ideas for DIY projects, but these are very time consuming and exhausting so I have to take brakes between each and make some tech videos in between.

[@skyem5250]

YetAnotherTechChannel I love your DIY projects and your tech videos! Keep up the hard work! -Daniel M from USA

[@soraqizor7554]

7:09 :'''D LIKE.

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

:D

[@SuperBADR100]

Masterpiece! you should really be proud of what you do, as most of people including me wish if they can do like these projects but they cannot...! we just enjoy watching please CONTINUE!

[@carlos.18]

Leaved a like!

[@saddamhossain4248]

This is the future of PC building 😎

[@masterod1]

LOL.. I added the steel mesh that ricers add to make their Honda go faster.. Ha haa haaa

[@JimFancherDIY]

LOVED the build. Excellent job. The PC drawer alone is worth watching. Very creative. I chuckled with the "handheld CNC machine". :)

[@JoshGerhards]

What do you mean "for adults?" Do these desks produce pornographic images or what?

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

There's a hidden compartment for 'adult magazines' ;) ...it's supposed to imply the lack of window and RGB LEDs.

[@JoshGerhards]

YetAnotherTechChannel Oh, I see. :)

[@krich106]

Mine holds my beer, so yes for adults.

[@rmccarrillo1759]

Hahaha. Children can't afford all this....and there is no adult supervision.. Ask dad to build it...yup, "for adults".

[@pedrodanielrebolledoramire6558]

not the desk but the monitor ;)

[@WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot-q9b]

Love the minimal look

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

Thanks very much :)

[@BrittYazel]

"Handheld CNC Machine" I think you mean a router lol

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

Yep.

[@zero00tolerance]

hello what keyboard are you using at the beginning ?

[@gui_ggo]

RAPOO E9050 and Royal Kludge RK61

[@MrMarshallMan3]

This isn't it, but handheld CNCs are actually a thing now! They're really cool, look them up :)

[@johnwelander9783]

A lot of work and a very nice job; something to aspire to but sadly my own effort will not be anywhere near this level of finish but this is a great instruction guide, thank you.

[@Visper84]

Desk for adults... wears toe socks...

[@Bo-lp1no]

oh myyy . Tks for the idea of putting the whole system in drawer

[@hksduhksdu]

This is definitely one fancy look of PC but I can tell you, I did that way back in 2000 when I stuffed my AMD Athlon 700 into my desk drawer, and here is my advise. You are not going to open your drawer every day or probably not even to open it until your PC is shut down because of power outage. So you really don't need all those fancy plates to station parts, the key to success in desk drawer pc is good airflow to control temperature only because most of the time desk is wood and it's not good conductor for temperature control.

[@FabricioMatos90]

I found your table amazing, but you can imagine a way to leave that temperature display in a visible place, like an open one that you did to dissipate the heat on the table, maybe with a glass cover, would look amazing. Congratulations on your work.

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

I was going for the 'clean AF' looks - hence no windows and no RGB. I can control fans connected to that controller through a desktop software or a mobile app.

[@descottoo6347]

7:08 made my day. This is a friggin sweet project

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

:D

[@Cj-ul8zi]

that desk is better built then some of the ones you buy for 1000 online XD. Great Video!

[@ervczek]

Nie mam pojęcia dlaczego, ale Twoje filmy o wiele przyjemniej ogląda się po angielsku :D

[@d3l74513rr4]

Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship. Thank you very much for this video!

[@davidnichols1192]

Glad to see the Riveter made it's appearance.

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

It's one of my favourite tools ;)

[@davidnichols1192]

it's a great desk you made there. I'm in the process of making my new tripple monitor desk atm, and you idea is something I want to do in the future. Luckily the desk I am making will allow for me to add this feature.

[@moneyodsg]

This video inspired me to try it myself, so I did and uploaded it. Loved the process

[@RoadRunnerMeep]

VERY VERY nice build out. You've opened by eyes to those pop riveters too. I didn't realise you could get a threaded insert option for them aswell.

[@TheythinkimNinja]

this looks like something you would buy for 5k, very nice desk.

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

Thanks very much :)

[@Lenuam000]

Excellent work. Just to mention, that tool you call CNC machine is actually a router.

[@knight1987]

This desk is freaking beautiful. Great video, great desk, great layout. Kudos!

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

Thanks much :)

[@nexso]

Very clear desk. Masterpiece!

[@lionelescandor4727]

wow that's an easy DIY computer table

[@LegendarySannin88]

Best. Desk. Ever.

[@bigboy501son]

overall awesome, my only advice are the screws, use a different type than countersunk. you have a ton of stress on a small point on those fasteners.

[@brandonpowers1121]

Omg, love the idea man, gonna do this for my two office builds!! Kudos

[@carlitoxb110]

I couldn’t help but subscribing

[@RockitMan-ey8tx]

Great desk design! Very clever use of materials and off the shelf parts.

[@jacoballen6645]

we gotta get this channel to blow up

[@watahyahknow]

its NOT a cnc machine its a router , cnc means that its controlled by a computer (wish is possible) have to say its a nicely made desk i like te idea , been thinking on making a pc in side my desk myself but i was thinking on just bolting it down inside a cavity from the top then put a glass plate over the whole desk

[@Saigoncowboy]

Ahh just the inspiration I’ve been looking for! Thank you for such a detailed video on how you made your desk! Hope it’s serving you well 😄

[@Clungedoctor]

Nice. Extra credit for them socks

[@uwannadance1971]

I stayed away from working with aluminum, because I thought it would be difficult. You've shown me otherwise. Thank you!

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

You're welcome! :)

[@edsheeransdad9985]

I am so surprised this is the forst time I see this channel. Great video.

[@MsRafaelRGO]

Dude! this is really nice! like how it is not one of those flash tables PC.

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

That's why it's called a desk PC for adults ;)

[@Joker-ud9br]

OMG MINI BRETHREN, subscribing for the love of Minis.

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

:D

[@lAljax]

This desk looks amazing! Congrats!

[@nghtrider62]

I've had a thought of a "Old School" A Fancy type of Rolltop Desk converted into a Stealth Computer desk with Monitor built Horizonitally into the desk. So It's all in one, and Lockable. Something that would fit well in a Old Victorian House Library or a Old Bank Office setting. Would love to see something like that Happen. Resale alone would be worth it, if it was well planned out. Love this desk!, You gave me idea's lol. subscribed.

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

yeah, I totally see this :) Thanks for stopping by - the topic will most definitely come back as I'm making plans for a third iteration of the drawer to make the computer silent :)

[@nghtrider62]

I'll look forward to it, I recently bought Be quiet! 120mm Silent Wings 3 fans for my CPU Corsair 75H water cooling system fans and I thought they would be more quieter. But there not. Really surprised me.

[@ignacymat]

dobre sprzęgiełko, szanuję.

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

:D

[@grizzly9960]

Very nice looking. Its also the only one in the world because you made it. Good Job

[@Junkineering]

this is the 3rd or so video of yours I've been recommended by YT, you make exactly the kind of content i like. good job :D

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

Thanks very much :) I'm really glad you enjoy my content :)

[@MrOgeidAzip1]

Cool, I took some aesthetic elements for a custom case I am working on. You deserve more subs, nicely explain projects (and really accesible to make)

[@denaistaka]

Superb! Liked the idea and the execution, awesome video. Enjoy and good luck with your next adventures!

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

Thanks :)

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

Very Nice! It shows what some great ideas and planning can do if put into action. The next time you need to cut a slot with a router (cnc cutter) clamp a piece of your aluminum angle down,and use it as a fence to run the router along, for a perfect straight cut. Very nice PC desk! :)

[@AnimosityGamers]

Love it. Thinking of making one myself for a early x-mas gift to myself...hehe

[@WuschelofDespair]

Great build! Now if Hackintosh wasn't such a pain.. maybe for a Linux PC alongside my MacBook oneday. You desk makes a PC really aesthetic, I usually don't like the appearance of tower pcs at all. Very clean, very beautiful

[@sipinthatbub]

Man I love your projects

[@CubiCNooBiC]

yes but you could cut square hole in the front panel of the pc slide and add glass and put the thermal screen behind it so you will be able to see it without opening, also there is plastic spiral thing that is used to hold cables together instead of using duct tape...

[@YetAnotherTechChannel]

But the whole point was to make it look like a regular desk and not a desk PC ;)

[@hf8547]

Nice if I was to criticise anything it would be the depth of the table and the method of joining the timber together

[@danielb9545]

I like your build. It looks great good job.

[@phtankhan965]

Where is the power on button how to start cpu? Btw nice table
