This Guy Built a Custom PC Gaming Desk, and It’s Rad

Robert De Luce, AKA MegaDeblow, takes his gaming seriously. So seriously in fact, that he spent several months building a custom 4k Gaming PC Desk for his office. I don’t know what you’ve done this past few months, but I know I haven’t achieved anything remotely as cool as this thing. With its sharp triangular edges, eye-popping red/blue interior and smooth black surfaces, the desk resembles something you’d find in a futuristic, Batman-themed arcade (which, um, why doesn’t that exist?).

De Luce built the desk in his garden shed using mostly MDF, perspex, clay, metal, and glass. Having a PC in a desk is pretty freakin’ cool, and as well as keeping his Xbox and Playstation safe and hidden, it has the added bonus of minimizing clutter around the work space.

If you’re interested in seeing how this thing was put together, check out MegaDeblow’s Work Logs. In three short videos, he takes you through the build process, including the choosing of materials and all the trials and errors it took to get the machine up and running. You can follow him on Facebook and Twitter for more updates, and to keep track of the awesome stuff he builds in the future—because you know this guy has a thousand and one more tricks up his sleeve.
