Desk with Built in PC

 This is a desk i built from scratch with built in pc. The desk is currently being used as a server, an 8 channel dvr, it also has two diaplays showing live nyc traffics cameras in our dispatch office (not in pictures). I also use it as an everyday pc. The desk has a 1/2 inch plexijglass top that opens up with a piano hinge. I am in the process of installing some linear actuators so that the desk opens up at a push of a button to make it easier to access the components. The drawers/legs were bought from ikea.

I have embedded a screen in the desk

I would just fix the cable management under the desk.

No instructions on how you made it? Next time take pics as you go would really help others who are trying a similar project.

Cool Desk thougH :)

Hey can anyone help me connect these speakers to my computer. After reading up on it a little i realize that its probable a lot harder than i thought.

Hi there! I like your project, is very cool!

To connect the big speakers to the pc you'll need an amplifier. On the amplifier input connect the cables to the pc output jack connector.

Another thing I would suggest you do : Instead of using multiple power supplies, extend the cables that don't reach. It'll do the job and less heat inside and less energy consumptions.

thanks...

Do i need any particular kind of Amp?..

Yea i have been working on trying to get rid of the second power supply and doing some cable management.

[newtonn2]

What type of speaker do you have? By the look of it I would say they are rated 8 Ohm, in which case you could use any home amp for the job.

That's some sweet tech-bling, very nice.

very cool! i was wondering when someone would do this...
great work, looks like you bought it from the store like that!

only one thing could make this better, iether integrate the moniter into the desk itself or have the moniter pop out of it with some linear actuators, but awsome work
