Honestly, the trend where gaming desks don't even have a dedicated spot to hold a PC tower is such a bizarre oversight.

You are supposed to fit that in your gaming chair

@mur2501 @sean this folding table costs 50$. i have had the thing for five or more years by this point. every time i go to re-evaluate it against a "proper" desk it ends up the proper desk is 200$+ but is just some particleboard bullshit. i did replace it with a 200$ kitchen work table because it looked higher quality, but after the third time it drew blood/bruises i fired it and brought this table back.

desks are spooks folding tables are chad (apparently.)
@icedquinn @mur2501 @sean currently rocking the plastic table as well -- what I actually want doesn't seem to exist. All metal, rigid, rackmounts under the main surface, can be dis/reassembled entirely with a socket set, PC tower slot(s)
@icedquinn @slowfallinward @mur2501 @sean you can build something like this without cnc. if you want to build stuff like this start with a hand drill, an angle grider for ~ $100, a framing square and a few other hand tools.

if you want to weld it,get a cheap mig welder with flux core wire for ~ $200

once you have those basic tools for < $300 you can build really soild heavy duty furniture with metal and plywood tops. home depot will cut sheets of plywood down for you for free.

having me make custom furniture for you would be way too expensive since most of the expense is in the design time.
@meowski @mur2501 @sean @slowfallinward i've done a small amount of CAD work but i don't have the tools to manufacture anything :blobcatthink:
@icedquinn @mur2501 @sean @slowfallinward just start with the basics. open end wrenches, screwdrivers, hammer, a drill, angle grinder, tape measure

people can get really skilled just with an angle grinder and cutoff discs
