Earlier this week I was approached by a friend who is an avid coder and wants to build his own computer. What made this special is the fact that he not only wants to build his own computer, but he wants to integrate it into a desk, turning a piece of furniture into something that one can interact with. He asked me to assist in the design and production. The idea is to have a slim, simple, yet appealing desk with cutaways in the surface, covered by glass, to reveal the computer components beneath, which will be backlit by dark blue diffused LEDs, giving a nice soft blue glow to the parts beneath. In addition, we will be including a swinging keyboard that can be concealed beneath the desk when the computer is not in use. Here's the first concept design (apologies, I mocked it up in about ten minutes so it's really rough) where you can see the basic design and where the computer parts will be visible.
