this is my scratch build "Project Alternate"
This desk was designed with the hope it would look as good OFF as it would on, so it was all about shapes & natural light,
I have very little light in my small room as you will see soon lol.
with the shapes came the problem of usability & practicality,
i tackled this in a couple of ways, not all perfect but enough to hide/store my clutter & make the desk usable for daily tasks
like gaming :D

I've seen a few desk builds in my time, this is truly one of the best. Nice! Now I feel like building my own ;)

@MOTHERFUCKINGJESUS you got any better deals?

I would sell your soul to the devil for that.
Crabbypatty
I would do the same but the devil already has my soul.

Would you bet your soul with the devil in a fiddling contest for it
OnlyBegottenDaughter
i would lose a mother-fucking fiddling contest, but he can have the soul ... just give me the desk.
fatmando666
Cooler master makes garbage parts though, also no room for second monitor so you can vidya and imgur simultaneously

+ 1 for the great image lighting. That alone is worth a doot.
Deblow
thanks, it was bloody hard lol
sangatster
You should do a post about that. I'd have no idea how to do it with my potato.
Deblow
maybe, after all the desk bits are done ;)

This softcore porn on FP is getting out of hand.

This is soft to you?
OnlyBegottenDaughter
something's hard, and i don't even have a penis.
Citride
Why did you chop off your penis?
OnlyBegottenDaughter
??? that's a ... a ... strange conclusion to jump to.
phe0n1x
But......one monitor?
Deblow
yep, I have more, but no space lol
geiokami
That's all you need
Or10nSharkFin
This day, one 4K monitor is really all you'll need.
illegalacorn
40" 4k. IOW, four 20" 1080p screens.
Deblow
yeah, had 4 1080p moves on screen at the same time, bit pointless but looked cool lol
AshwafSarassface
Looks like its a 40" curved 4k. No need for any other monitors if you truly don't need it.
whitter86
Fuck bezels in the middle of my view
jdavis1186
I use two monitors, but one for my main task (games, video, browser, etc) and the second for secondary tasks (IRC, browser, etc)
TallDude
That is why you triple monitor.
whitter86
Why? You can buy a single monitor as large as 3 monitors? Expensive yes, but I say if you are going all out why not?
TallDude
Other than the other notes about resolution/ pixel density, honestly multiple monitors looks cooler than one large monitor.
dodekeract
Not at all. It's the aspect ratio though. 48:9 looks dope as fuck. There are some preeeeety wide screens though already. They're better IMHO
raim42
Also, debezel. I have mine down to a 1 mm gap between screens and I really don't even notice the bezel in game anymore.
whitter86
God why though? You can get a 40" monitor. I mean if you are going all out why the hell would you settle for bezels?
raim42
Field of view. A 40" monitor will have the same FOV as a 24". That, and a lot lower pixel density.
TheMostModestMouse
Two monitors is something you never think you need. Until you have used it. Then you never look back.
tornadosandwich
i feel like the gaps would bother me, id rather get one of those super wide curved screens
raim42
Same thing with 3. Seems excessive until you try it, then you get hooked by the immersion and can never game on a single screen again,
Deblow
had 3 was cool, not hooked, dont like bezels
nintyuk
People don't understand, it's not about having stuff stretch across all monitors it's about having that side screen to keep all the useful >
Deblow
plenty of space for that on the 40" screen, i use a tab if needed when im in game, or play window mode at 1440p, still plenty room as its 4K
nintyuk
It's one of those don't knock it until you tried it kinda deals
nintyuk
< stuff on like teamspeak skype twitter thetime date network & CPU performance ect. and have the main screen clear for full screen stuff
Deblow
I use phone & or TAB
MrCrzy
then you try 3 then 4 then you get to 6 and you realize you have a problem.
phe0n1x
Try? I'm getting a third 28" lol. Gotta have room for my EVE Online clients and netflix!
JustCallMeMrPigg
I use 55 in tv's
Glumerlink
Yeah seriously, that's the point where you start combining monitors to perform ultra screens by cutting off the borders
OnlyBegottenDaughter
or just buying frameless monitors?
Glumerlink
Screw that, modify existing!
Deblow
yeah, but its MASSIVE :D 40" 4K
harobed7756
OP, I hope you're in a design profession where you can become your own boss.

OP I just needed to comment...this is fucking glorious. Like...wow. Fucking congrats man
Deblow
tanks man, sorry later reply, had lots to do
paronfesken
No g-sync?
rockycoolcatjr
Can't with amd cards
Deblow
Should have a FS soon via update, but tbh I dint use it on my last 32" 4k screen
NipplesTheEnchiIada
I use a 32 inch, it's TOO big for PC gaming cause you're too close, no clue how you can stand it.
Deblow
im not close, & the screen is on a swing arm so can go back more if needed
NipplesTheEnchiIada
there's also the issue with the hertz of the tv itself, monitors have better refresh rate and asus just released a low latency monitor.
Rubmuhturkey
And one GPU?
Alcyonestus
It's a 295x2, which is 2 GPU's in one. It's also the most powerful GPU on the market right now, so he won't be lacking for power

Ihistal
It looks like a custom watercooled R9 295x2, which is a dual GPU card (so think already natively in Crossfire x2) and an absolute beast.
Rubmuhturkey
I know what card it is (I have x fire 290s) but you think that he would go all out on a build in such an expensive enclosure, ie tri Fury X
wantfastcars
I noticed that too. Honestly, this is very, very cool, but I'd rather have spent the money on a more powerful tower
lronMaiden
Hello! I actaully got SLI 4k gaming setup and i would trade those SLI cards to very high end single card anytime. Like Titan X
Deblow
& they run on 1 slot, so only use 1x 16X lane :D
lronMaiden
Yep. Also it doesnt have these anyoning problems that SLI cards tend to have. Meaby i should sell these and get Titan X. I need VRAM =P
