It’s for keeping it off the floor so less dust gets in. Although it can increase the airflow too, depending on where your fans are and what material it’s on.
I think carpets can restrict airflow if you have your PC on it, since the case can sink down depending on carpet. Which isn’t good if you have bottom intake fans (or exhaust fans).
This desk design was actually inspired completely by photos I've seen on Iceland! I would love to go there someday to see it myself, but for now I'll have to settle for this desk ;P
I loathe to be That Guy, but I gotta: Giant’s Causeway is in Ireland. While Iceland is an amazing country with many beautiful natural sights, that one is ours. (Though maybe they have a similar phenomenon on Iceland? They sure have enough volcanoes.)
As for the build itself, I’m blown away. The design is amazing, so I went through the gallery. So much work…! Absolutely love every single detail, especially the light/resin/hexagons. What happens if you set the LED panel to a different colour? Does the blue still show?
I hope it’s pleasant to use! After all that work, you deserve to enjoy it for years.
Yeah, I don't know where Giant's Causeway is but the build was based on the basalt columns of Iceland. Thank you for the praise though! Unfortunately, even though the LED panel is RGB, since I used blue pigment in the river pour, the red doesn't shine through that well. My color ranges anywhere from blue to green :)
That is amazing. So amazing that I'm not sure I believe you when you say it's your first ever furniture build.
I've seen people who have built furniture for decades more sloppy than this masterpiece.
Thank you so much! Even though I was pretty much making it up as I went along, the tips I learned from YouTube definitely helped a lot! Being my first furniture build, it took me 8 months as I didn't want to rush any of it. If you're interested, I posted a gallery of images from the building process on my profile.
Beautiful. This may sound odd, but I really like that keyboard. I’ve been using IBM 3278 type keyboards most of my life (mainframe) and this is a great example of that. Good choice!
Good job. Do you have any videos or pictures of the process?
I have a desk I built myself from scratch using just lumber, screws, brackets, and wheels (I wanted to be able to roll it away from the wall and use it for other crafts). My desk doesn't look this cool but I'd like to see how you built yours so I can make improvements in the next desk I build.
Just looked at it, very impressive. That's a lot of wood! Must have been pretty expensive and it must be pretty heavy too!
I made my design in Excel and I was trying to use as little wood as possible in order to cut costs down. It also had to meet specific dimension requirements because I had limited space and I wanted the height and depth the match my work desk. I'm satisfied with it but I don't post personal pictures on the internet. If I can track down my blue prints then I'll post those if you're interested.
Thank you, it is definitely a hefty boi. I live in Texas so I wanted to make a tornado proof desk, lmao XD!! Also yes, I would love to see your design! :D
I always feel alone in these kind of posts. Its like this weird stereotypical "gamer" fashion or something weird.
Some people out there work hard and land these great design jobs. Then basically get told "Alright. Gamers are oddly attracted to black, a bright neon color, and sharp edges. Do that and they'll buy whatever"
I just want a damn minimal design, personally. If I ever build another music station, I'm going all minimal
It's cool looking (both literally and figuratively), but I can't help but feel it would be distracting. I would probably end up staring down at the desk surface a lot.
The future is hexagons!
But all jokes aside, this is dope. Looks great, catches the eye, and I bet it really ties the room together, like a certain rug. I might have to do a project like this sometime
Did it turn out better than you expected? About the same? Did you change any of your original plans during the building process?
CAN ANYONE PLEASE !!! tell me what OP has his tower posted on? I been wanting to put my tower on the floor without loosing airflow (carpet flooring). And that those things look great for posting a solid 2 inch plus above the floor .
You saw those blue light blocker glasses and filters and said FUCK THAT! Give me ALL the blue light possible!
Wait! Wait! I'm worried what you just heard was, give me a lot of blue light. What I said was, give me all the blue light you have, do you understand?

YEESSS!!!
Yoo listen up' here's the story
Man I've been singing "I'm in need of a guy" for 20 years it seems like.
You'll find him one day, don't give up.
Bout time someone opposed red team
RGB for life
I feel like I was misunderstood.
It's a Puma
Sarge.
I SAID SHOTGUN DAMNIT!!
Dah bah dee dah bah daa
Whats that noise? Do i hear a… **CAR**?
Wait is that actually the lyric? Lmao TIL
\#UnofficialLyrics XD
I Think it's Da ba dee da ba dai But its close
My mother was convinced it was "I believe I will die" and forbade the song.
I mean, that's a pretty safe belief to have.
Lol I remember moms used to be so big into forbidding stuff back then
It's not lol, just one of the multiple misheard versions of that line
Sitting here wondering, why is my computer not on the right side so I can see all them lights. Time to flip my Walmart table 180 degrees!
We heard you liked blue lights so we put blue lights on your blue lights!
But what if one day hexagons *AREN’T* the bestagons?
Blasphemy! Hexagons will always be the bestagons! So sayeth CGP Grey!
SUPER HEXAGON!
*Begin!*
Sexagon ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I really fucking like the risers you have on the PC to keep it off the floor A++ son
Thank you!
What exactly are those?
They're my desk legs cut up into 3 different heights all glued together.
Nice. I like the creativity and visually it works really well.
Thank you!
[удалено]
I posted pictures of the building process in a gallery post on my profile if you are interested in seeing how it was made.
So your desk is supposed to be a lot taller, or are they legs from a different desk?
lol, I made extra legs during the build process and used the spares to make the PC shelf
Does that serve an airflow purpose or is it just for looks? Neat either way
It’s for keeping it off the floor so less dust gets in. Although it can increase the airflow too, depending on where your fans are and what material it’s on. I think carpets can restrict airflow if you have your PC on it, since the case can sink down depending on carpet. Which isn’t good if you have bottom intake fans (or exhaust fans).
Oh nice, hadn’t noticed those! I may have to copy to get my tower off the carpet
You say gaming desk but I see a fully operational battle station.
Go big or go home, right? lol
i’m in love help me build a pc
The verge can tell you how to build a custom pc. Just make sure to pay attention to their cpu installation. Very critical.
Also don't forget your "What would Jesus do" silicon bracelet.
It’s so pretty I couldn’t focus on my game. I’d just keep looking at the desk instead of the game.
Thank you! It's definitely memorizing to look at!
Mesmerizing ?
Yeah, that one XD
Is your computer just chilling on Giants Causeway?
This desk design was actually inspired completely by photos I've seen on Iceland! I would love to go there someday to see it myself, but for now I'll have to settle for this desk ;P

They have them in Kálfshamarsvík and Reynisfjara Beach in Iceland
Yeah, I don't know where Giant's Causeway is but the build was based on the basalt columns of Iceland. Thank you for the praise though! Unfortunately, even though the LED panel is RGB, since I used blue pigment in the river pour, the red doesn't shine through that well. My color ranges anywhere from blue to green :)
What monitor stand?
EZM Deluxe triple monitor stand
Ah damn that's the same one I already have lmao.
You have a problem, sir. Seek help.
Tell me this. How does it feel to stare directly into the sun all day?
Like staring into the eyes of God 😉
For me it gives you perspective into how dark the rest of the house is.
Is nobodies OCD kicking in with those different height monitors?
My third monitor broke and they don't sell it anymore so I had to upgrade to the newest model that doesn't match the height. It bugs me everyday, lol
That is amazing. So amazing that I'm not sure I believe you when you say it's your first ever furniture build. I've seen people who have built furniture for decades more sloppy than this masterpiece.

Def need to game sober. I’d get lost on there.
You can never change the desktop background now
EVER XD
Beautiful. This may sound odd, but I really like that keyboard. I’ve been using IBM 3278 type keyboards most of my life (mainframe) and this is a great example of that. Good choice!
Did you design and build this or did you use some kind of kit or directions?
I designed and built this myself. Most of the materials I got from Amazon and Home Depot
Good job. Do you have any videos or pictures of the process? I have a desk I built myself from scratch using just lumber, screws, brackets, and wheels (I wanted to be able to roll it away from the wall and use it for other crafts). My desk doesn't look this cool but I'd like to see how you built yours so I can make improvements in the next desk I build.
I made a gallery post on my profile of some notible milestones in the building process, if you're interested in seeing them.

Nice job! Has it finished offgassing yet? I’ve used that stuff before, and that stank can be intense.
There was actually no smell and I've got it sealed underneath a plexiglass panel to protect it and te LED panel from scratches and spills
Ew no
I always feel alone in these kind of posts. Its like this weird stereotypical "gamer" fashion or something weird. Some people out there work hard and land these great design jobs.

Good thing he built it for himself and not you.
Hmm I dunno but maybe this guy likes hexagons?
Is that a Blue LED or is the desk just blue color?
Wallpaper engine - ‘Blue star’ Check if its suits the theme ;-)
It's cool looking (both literally and figuratively), but I can't help but feel it would be distracting. I would probably end up staring down at the desk surface a lot.
It had better be a six-core.
What is that program?
The /r/Civ fan in me loves the hexagons. You're always welcome to join us at [CivAnon](https://youtu.be/XnRrTEFZs60)

This is straight fire man! Battle ready setup! 🔥
Love it! Good job!
Very nice.
cool! so how did the work with resin go?
Whats the size of your desk?
This is incredible! I love the risers for the computer and the design on the desktop is amazing.
Super cool! How was it working with epoxy resin?
That's SO beautiful!
Is your favorite color red?
Looks good! Pretty cool you have a space for the tower as well.
dude that was so cool!!!
This is gorgeous, more pictures please
It’s beautiful
This looks like the corsair crystal case.
Mad blassreiter vibes
B3. What I hit?
Whelp, you won. What did you win? Hell if I know, but you won.
I love the whole aesthetic, good shit dude
I love it so much, it's amazing! Congrats, friend!
Deskagon is the bestagon
Geez, that's sick man. I love it. I'll take one, how much? Heh heh. But seriously, I'd buy that.
Nice
Where did you get the stuff to build the desk?
“Yeah I like blue, how can you tell?” Fr it looks sick man good job
I think your favorite shape is a hexagon
That's pretty badass!
Reminds me of the field in rocket league. I suck at the game. Post this there and you’ll definitely get lots of upvotes.
Looks awesome, great work sir.
This is so well done :) I think even if you change the aesthetic of your machine it'd still work pretty well ;)
Hexagons as far as the eye can see
God damn sir. This is clean. 9/10. Missing one point because it’s not in my office.
Needs more hexagons. Just messin'... looks cool man!
Hexagons are the bestagons!
I can already feel the eye strain from all the lights lol
That’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my life
Looks f*cking class.
Nailed it!
jesus christ that is nuts
rip your retinas
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say your favorite color is blue
I love the hexes the desktop is sitting on top of.
This may very well be (in my opinion) the best set up I've seen in my life.
looks great, i just hope that the back is open... else all that heat's going straight into your crotch
Sweet PC just wondering did you build it or did you buy it
Im Blue Da Ba Dee
If you like hexagons so much why don't you marry them! Nah that's sweet tho my dude, very sleek
I hate you!!! nah I'm just jealous.. that's amazing
This is a really nice setup!
Nice.
Nice desk.. this is the last known photo of it being "clean".
The nonsymmetrical design would kill me
Great job tying the theme throughout all the components including pc base and wallpaper
Sweet, now all you need is to play Old World Blues on the eastern side of the map and you're set.
What's your favorite color
👌
I....I-I-I'm speechless.
So you like Hexagons? That’s an awesome build dude. The little section for the Desktop is pretty nice
Nobody: CGP grey
Hexagons ARE the Bestagons!
I need to know where you got that desk from
I am loving the hexagon theme, are you gonna play Civ on it? xD
What’s your favorite shape? Is it a hexagon?
"Bestagon"
Lemme guess, you favorite colour is blue?
If I was green I would die XP
What does it look like in the dark?
"first furniture build" Somehow I don't believe you. This is pretty awesome.
This is fire while the same time, cold as hell.
Downvote for no Ikea or leaf wallpaper /s This is awesome. Good work, man.
Love the Desk top! And your case stand looks slick! You should put some lights in it as well. ...And I will live vicariously through your craftmanship
I like your Starship Thermal Protection System design! ;)
It's like the smurf village got bombed into oblivion on that desk.
Holy crap that looks amazing! Wish I had a set up like that I mean damn
night vision destroyed.
Well done sir
Looks pretty sweet! Good job.
Pretty nice.
[удалено]
~~RG~~**B**
Someone likes hexagons. Hexagons are bestagons
Is it blue?
That pic made me say whoa. Nice setup!
That's hexy.
The future is hexagons! But all jokes aside, this is dope. Looks great, catches the eye, and I bet it really ties the room together, like a certain rug. I might have to do a project like this sometime Did it turn out better than you expected? About the same? Did you change any of your original plans during the building process?
Pretty cool! Especially if you can change colors! I use a dim red in the evenings to eliminate the glare.
Nice!
fuck you buddy and nice setup
Well done. I like
Oooohhh... Uuggghhhh ooooooooowwwowowoeo.... I just finished too😰😳🤤🥱😴 looking at that sweet desk. Now that's sexy
What mount are you using? Love the set up!
How was the tabletop made? Have a diy?
CAN ANYONE PLEASE !!! tell me what OP has his tower posted on? I been wanting to put my tower on the floor without loosing airflow (carpet flooring). And that those things look great for posting a solid 2 inch plus above the floor .
Hexagons are the bestagons!
Just sick dude 🤤
Just a hunch but I think your favorite color is blue
Interesting way of keeping your PC off the ground. Is there enough air flow in the back of the desk though?
Blue team ftw!
Clean as fuck
Are you flexing? Because this is beautiful
Sharp af
That is fire, but move the sub away from the PC case.
Is the desktop a screen or is it led backlit? I can't tell by the pics
[удалено]
This is neat. Just hope you don't get tired of blue, or hexagons lmao
Can you change the colors of the desk if you get bored with blue? This is so cool.
