Omg the most impressive part is the thin triangular strip that moves in and out of the way to seal the gap between the table and monitor when everything is shut. Absolutely incredible

if I had to guess it would be that he used a router bit set that has bit profiles that are inverted shapes to one another, so he cut a groove out of it using one bit, then used the matching bit to cut the peice that fits inside.
@@cristianruske2875 sure it doesn't to you
The thin edge trick and the spring-loaded move-out-of-the-way wooden bar hiding gap thingy blew me away
😂😂😂😂😂😂for real
yea i mean this guys is actually amazing in my eyes, his ingenuity is mind boggling
the gap filler thing actually made me say holy f*ck out loud
i missed that part at first so thank you for calling it out so I could go back
i still don't understand how it works. he only spent like 2 seconds talking about it
The things I enjoy about your videos are; they are always clean, explained so well, you show just the right amount of detail so you're not stuck waiting for the next scene, and you genuinely seem very excited and passionate about what you make.
That hinge and lift mechanism is an absolute thing of beauty. Your builds just keep getting better and better!
they do. He is not running out of ideas. in terms of what he can build or will build next, I can't even imagine it.
I was actually wondering if he would consider working with some kind of fabrication shop to build custom blank desks. If he did this to scale I imagine it would sell a few units. Not a ton but enough maybe to justify some cost/time cutting measures.
He's made plenty of stuff that I imagine would sell in enough volume to come out of full custom pricing into merely "very high end" pricing
The hidden monitor + input device setup is amazingly cool. Would also be cool to have a button built into the lift so it can tell the computer to go to sleep when closed. Personally though, I'd use a low-power mini PC instead of putting so much work into a massive heat exhaust system.
He literally could've used some springs and a latch to make it open with a press of a button
@@thioga1you literally could post a video on your own channel of you doing a better job.
We wait in anticipation.
If a thief broke into your house, he would say, "Wow, this guy doesn't own anything. Let's go rob the house next door." 😂
lol underrated comment
"why does this guy own 15 desks?? What a weirdo!"
How? He's basically homeless now. :p
Leave on the sun light and they'll be like how the... but it's night right now!
"Why is this table so fucking heavy? What kind of wood is that?! I'm not carrying it"
Those tapered edges actually tied together the desk a lot more than I expected. It actually looks a lot more sleek that way.
That was a genius simple and elegant solution !
It's just an optical illusion powered by selective & careful camera angles.
The initial images he showed in the video looked so sleek, I was very intrigued. And then after he starts building it's this massive chonky thing, and I was very confused. Then he showed the amazing edges and I was very impressed.
His dad is an incredibly good carpenter. Makes sense.
I'm a bit surprised that many viewers seem to not know this concept, although it is pretty much the industry standard and also used on many other products like laptops and such. 🤷♂
I have a suggestion
Install a biometric fingerprint reader with a motorized actuator to raise the desk. This should be recessed under the lip of the desk. By doing this, three problems can be solved:
1. Only authorized individuals can lift the computer.
2. The magnet attached to the wood panel could potentially damage the wood over time through repeated use. This can be avoided.
3. There is no need to keep a magnet on the desk, further concealing the computer inside.
Great idea
Seeing a UA-cam engineer who actually does things properly and thoughtfully is so refreshing. Every video is gold
We love our UA-cam engineers who if they don’t have a public sighting every 2 weeks we have to assume they died to high voltage, don’t put disrespect on their names

I like the erratic style of some youtuber engineers. But sometimes it's nice seeing an actually sensible and functional product in the end.
Stuff Made Here has similar high quality projects, although they are on the less sensible side xD.
@@z0bi_ cuz only genius do it like that most of the engineer on youtube are engineer by paper but not actual engineer just going doing stuff they like at absolute lazyness but stuff made here and diy perks are craftman engineer that do it by actually caring about their final product
I loved that you didnt just gloss over the problems with the 1st iteration of your heat sync and actually demonstrated an improved heat sync without turning it into a multi video series
Yes, he always show the flaws too. Love this channel.
You just blew all tech channels away with this. But I do think that the cooling system could simply rely on AIOs and have the fans pointing downward underneath the desk, perhaps with a slit at the back for air flow. The sheer idea that there are fans hanging off the back just puts it this a little bit short of the "endgame" setup ;) But it's really great. And the hinge is amazing.
I love that you keep in the failed portions of the build, like the first cooling system, and show the process of fixing it!
Yesss

I think the desk is water proof since there are no visible cuts, but I could be wrong

A video about DIY air purifiers would be great since they are more effective and cheaper than commercial options. Additionally, you could explore ways to make them blend into your home decor better than most existing videos on this topic.
I recommend gluing a small piece of felt to that magnet to save it from marring your lovely oak surface over time.
Yeah definitely agree there.
At least it's not veneer this time so he has the option to sand any scratches out lmao
magnet w/ computer is also kinda risky
@@eeeee11235eh not really. Unless you have a super strong magnet you aren’t breaking anything. Even a strong neodymium magnet from amazon wont break anything. Trust me Ive literally tested it on my phone and pc.

First of all: You're an absolute madlad.
Second: Kudos for finding a sponsor that fits so naturally with your project. This is an ad I can get behind.
Not sure I agree to the sponsor fitting the video 😆 This was like watching a lambourghini being built and by the end the mechanic asks you if you'd like to buy a kia picanto w/o climate control
@@rpals5412Huh? How? The legs are literally a part of the desk and they‘re way more advanced than any regular legs? He specifically mentioned that they can be combined with any desktop of your choosing. In your example it‘s like advertising the tires you used on your lamborghini after showing how perfectly it performed on a race track. Same as here, you can use those tires on a cheaper car or a super sports car. If this doesn‘t fit the video then Idk what sponsorships he should take at all.
@@rpals5412 Well then you're never going to be pleased. I've seen two flexispot sponsors. This one, and one for StyroPyro. They know how to pick their sponsors to showcase their desks well.
this has to be the coolest PC build I've have seen ever, especially I've seen a lot of ENDGAME MONSTER builds..
I love that you don't hide your mistakes along the way, encouraging people to keep trying and working as they can see that these things happen to all of us.
"We have an Army." - LTT
"We have a dad." - DIY Perks
its legit crazy to think about DIY perks making such high quality stuff alone while LTT legit has an army and half of their stuff gives out garage DIY vibes
DIY Perks's dad is a wonderful craftsman, absolute GOAT on a build team!
@@martinfletcher9699 That's just their style I guess.
@@martinfletcher9699 With their whole team of engineers, LTT could even build a desk even thinner and more impressive than this, but it would take months if not over a year, which I’m sure this did too, so it simply wouldn’t be practical if you’re not going to sell it in large quantities.
@@martinfletcher9699 Linus & Co. are just too immature, impatient, and irresponsible to be able to pull off something even *close* to this. They are fun to watch, but *_bloddy_* frustrating at the same time.
This guy's level of precision and detail is insane -- not just the engineering, woodworking & electronics in his builds -- but also the video editing. Jack of all trades, master of all.
I still keep on returning to this video because its absolutely mind-blowing.
Other makers have made desk PCs and invisible set-ups, but this is a cut above. None of the others are so complete, so thorough, finished to such a high standard, and ultimately just so good. A real Matt masterpiece
This guy isn't even a Tech UA-camr, but makes the most absolutely amazing PC setups, far superior to anything else!
I get the sentiment, but tech UA-camrs are not more qualified to do advanced engineering projects.
Not to mention the loose definition of "tech UA-camr" since this guy is a UA-camr that creates most his content around tech.
If you've seen the video about modding the Canon R5, I highly recommend it. This should clear any doubts that "this guy" actually _is_ a tech youtuber :).
He is more of an engineer than a tech youtuber, with all the things he has built
He is a tech youtuber, all his videos are literally technology.
So someone tell LTT that someone has taken the title for cleanest setup
It’s been that way for a while! DIY Perks desks are always better than LTTs
There was no competition lol.
And let's not forget the water cooled computer.
LTT had a completely different goal. Though the second cooling system in this video is way better than LTT's.
LTT can't compete with this anymore, their volume requirements to keep up with YT algo has lowered quality.
that hinge design is simply phenomenal. Hats off to Matt the best engineer on youtube.
Well, it would be great if he would make his project files (CAD etc..) available like e.g. GreatScott does it on every single one.
Then you have not seen AppliedScience 😅
Mark Rober is good as well
I loved how you are digging into the server parts bin to build this set up. The ingenuity is the reason why I subscribed to your Chanel.
The level of detail in this build is mind-blowing. It's fascinating how you've turned a simple desk into a powerhouse PC, while keeping an elegant aesthetic. The cooling system is unique and seems very efficient. This is an impressive feat of engineering.
I honestly think it's a fire hazard considering how he's electrifying copper tape to power the fans. The adhesion on that stuff is absolutely terrible and due to the nature of PC gaming having sudden loads + being mounted on brass that's rapidly heated & cooled makes it a disaster in waiting.
The changes he did at the end is also going to result in restricted air flow since the output is so close to the wall and a fan snagging hazard for toes beneath the desk, not to mention the powerful magnet constantly being grinded an inch away from sensitive electronics.
@@Runefrag add the oled burn in and you have a certain disaster. If the electric/electronic parts don't blow up or start a fire, the expensive oled will get a serious case of burn in. I would give the inner parts more room to breathe, and possidly have an upward facing exhaust at the back, and definitely add a switch to turn off the monitor when the lid is down.
@@Runefragthe fans are blowing away from the user
@@snjert8406 Pushed up right against the wall? I don't think so.
@@Runefrag I mean, the motor hubs with the stickers are facing the inward side of the table. So, if they function like any computer fan, they're blowing away from the table.
Absolutely gorgeous, i want it... Well done again! H.
I love your content also!! You're so very talented and an all-around awesome person.
It doesn't fit a coffee machine, so needs improvement 😅
well, now make a hidden room, behind a library that opens with a voice activated spell :D
@@ivovass195Could use more foam bricks as well
Thanks!!
I love that you showed the issue with first heat sink. Real DIY is a continuous process where some ideas might sound good on paper but fail in actual practice. But you learn from those mistakes and it makes future designs stand stronger against failure. Thank you for keeping it real and I love your videos :)
Agree. I'm sure he only showed this one bigger issue and simply didn't talk about many other smaller issues he had to work around. If you watch the youtuber stuff-made-here you will see much more approaches that didn't work. So don't be disapointed when doing DIY, failiure is normal!
Your dad is a really cool guy. I respect him for his hard work and for raising such a cool son!
I love that this channel is called DIY Perks, it's... almost ridiculously undersold.
As an engineer stuck in a corporate world, Matt and this channel pretty much single handedly got me back into my passion of creating. Completely changed my life!
My end game desk suggestions: Wireless coil charging embedded in the keyboard platform with corresponding wireless kb, mouse and phone charging. I'd love to the keyboard platform routed out so the desk pad locates perfectly - maybe with magnets? Fan shroud with plenum to hide the fans and quiet them even more. Have a nice matching handle made for your magent in the same wood and finish as the table, and clad bottom with velvet. AND WHERE ARE THE LEDs?
I hope everyone likes this comment so he sees it. Great ideas.
The LED’s are right where they belong, not on the build.
think of all the FRAMES he's losing from not having RGB!
how are you going to put a coil if the frame is made of aluminum?
@@gonsanbo In between. The wood cover and aluminium. Or to make another cut into aluminium.
That Finish! The miters, the little filler wood slot being so clean. The custom soldered cooling. LTT could never. That's one beautiful build.
Ha, I was also thinking that Linus would be watching and thinking he couldn't get the same finish. This is awesome!
I love how this channel goes over some fairly complex concepts but breaks it down into little understandable bites that eventually produce these engineering masterpieces. I also love that even all the brackets look cool because they are made from aluminum and brass
I'm a relatively new dad and all I can think about is... your dad must be so proud of you. This is truly the endgame. But please don't stop. I need these!
Wish my dad was proud of me.

Sir, this is one of the coolest things I've seen made for a PC. The 140mm Fans may be slightly less elegant than the original design, but silence and efficient cooling easily make them the best option. FlexiSpot system being mountable to any desktop is brilliant as well.
There could be half of the coolers, with smaller fans, but then the noise..
Half size nactua fans?
the amount of engineering that goes into these builds is absolutely stunning. I love these stealth builds you make. If you are ever looking for a challenge though i would like to see what a more affordable build would look like
Most of the raw materials are relatively inexpensive. Swapping the PC components for mid or low end components would make this much more affordable. You’d still have to be an engineering genius like Matt to get that hidden monitor hatch setup, though :P
Man, this is absolutely amazing. Believe me, I have seen thousands of DIY videos on UA-cam maybe millions can't count after all these years but this one is my favourite. You have amazing skills and knowledge. I admire you. Thank you for this wonderful video.
Never in the history of mankind could one spilled drink cause so much damage. The tapered sides were a brilliant idea. It makes you wonder where the screen went. Really clever.
I wouldn't even allow any drinks in the same room as this bad boy.
Surely he has to have waterproofed the compartments or something. If not yeah no drinks allowed within 30 feet.
maybe if you have a silicone/any kind of water resistant mat on the desk, it could protect it from any possible liquids.
@@nathanw5431considering he didn’t show that? No
Every time I forget that DIY means "do it yourself" and think it means "stupid lazy creation," you post a video to remind me of its meaning and how masterful it can be.
Yea... you could totally reproduce this diy with an engineering degree, an endless budget and a wood working father. Totally doable for the average person.
looks like someone doesnt have a father, a engineering degree AND the budget; which isnt even that hard to lower since hes using ultra high specs...
Yeah those other “DI-WHYyyyyyyyy” videos are definitely ruining the acronym
@@Lamster66 It's OR not AND too. ;)

The build is obviously insane, but as someone who hates ads and sponsor messages, the flexispot sponsorship is the ONLY time I've ever been charmed by sponsor integration. Part of it is how well the sponsor goes with the build, but the presentation is fantastic as well, not just an afterthought tacked on in the middle for revenue. Bravo
Came here to say exactly this. Clever and inoffensive advertising.
Thought this too. Only time I've never fast forwarded through a sponsor ad.
Look for iSponsorBlock it auto skips in-video ads for you automatically
Blacktail Studios also did a sponsored spot recently, and that desk turned out beautifully, too.
Agree. Also I've got one of their desk mechanisms (had it for 3 years now) and it works really well, would recommend.
I’m amazed by how well you’ve planned what cuts you had to make and how to arrange everything so it comes together so seamlessly when building it. I mean I don’t see another way to do it than planning ahead, you couldn’t just cobble it together, but the complexity of it makes that an impressive task to have executed so well !
Not going to lie this is the most epic PC build I have ever seen. Showed the intro, opening up the monitor, to my other half who normally couldn't care less about such things and she was like 'wow... rewind that'. High praise indeed.
Watch basically homeless no wires build sponsored by flexispot an insane amount of coding to get it to work
Not going to lie, it's a nice uppy downy desk. You could sell lots of these and feed the starving millions.
@@travisash8180Unfortunately, you couldn't. This would be an absolute disaster to manufacture at scale. It would be a minor miracle if you could sell these for less than 10K even if you were producing thousands of them.
OMG That little piece v shaped behind the mechanism OMGGG thats looks so ..... satisfying
its so perfect!
The fact that you actually tried the computer and improve the heating system really shows up the quality of this build. Congrats !
Great build, but the cooling mechanism makes no sense. A 480mm radiator is like £90.
How much cheaper was it to order 40 of those, weld them together with solder and the copper piping for it all and the extra like 6 fans that are about £30 each.
And if it were cheaper, it stil ldoesn't seem worth it for the poorer performance. Nor does it justify it given the £2000 GPU, £500 CPU and £500 of steel, £2000 monitor etc etc.
@@Patrick-y4d1z Yeah 90 for normal radiator. But radiators like that from old servers are basicly free. Ofc price is without work and soldering things.
You compared price for radiator against price of costs of those cpu coolers + work + solder things + fans. What he said in video and compared was cost of 40x cpu coolers vs radiator.
I bet if you build ur own PC you dont compare pre-built system cost against your hardware with ur assembling worktime - 20€ /hr...
@@nonamenosurname8516 nobody gives away so much copper for free, you are looking at 20-30 bucks per heatsink with most sellers.
yes but it's a DIY channel, a flat sceen and a gpu cant be custom buildt, a refrigeration system can be made and it's also cheap.
@@nonamenosurname8516
Even if they were £1 per server cooler, the cost of the copper piping alone would close the gap.
That's ignoring the £200 of fans he attach.
So he went for a more expensive solution, that was worse in performance, heavier and takes up more space while also making more noise.
So no, ignore the time spent (even if it has value) and the way he didn't wouldn't have been cheaper. While also being worse in literally every metric.
DIY Perks has truly jumped to a whole other level! Not in a bad way in comparison to his previous projects. Just with time there’s been no shortage of remarkable progress! Great job! I mean that wholeheartedly!
This has to be by far the most original Flexispot youtube video, they did well sponsoring DIY Perks, welldone on this, definitely an endgame build.
I normally don't comment much, but I follow this channel for 6 years now (since the led crystal decoration). And though the projects became more and more builds I'll probably never going to do myself, the videos still have the same magnificant vibe to it. I'm so glad and hooked when another video pops up! Awesome work and thank you so much for this!
I love how you continually one-up your previous projects. I loved your first invisible PC desk, and this one makes it look like a first draft.
I think that's why he mentions it's an " ENDGAME" build a few times. I mean really where do you go after this?
I was impressed with the first invisible PC that you made some time ago. This build took it further to an even higher level quite literally. Your best creation so far Matt.
there aren't many channels that can make me watch a ~30 minutes video...
this was incredibly satisfying to watch.
you sir, are an artist.
OMG! This is the first time I see someone build a really invisible PC, not mentioning that your setup really only has the power cable connected to the desk. Almost all attempts have a few cables showing somewhere.
You should do consulting to big companies and work for R&D or product development. Your vision is extraordinary. And yes, this was one of the best well finish work you have done.
Yeah, 3 videos of this quality a year, is MORE than enough. OUTSTANDING.
nah wish he'd upload more tbh
I'm in such genuine awe of this build right now, it makes me wish I could go out and buy one, cause I know that if I tried to build that lifting mechanism, I would get to the third failed iteration and just have to put the project down. I wish I could buy the things you make so much

@@unionxenon worth it

Why corsair? The only thing from them are the fans lol
Idk how you can possibly one up this, at this point you have done it basically every new video. But idk how it will be possible to out do this video. This blew my mind, like I can’t comprehend the sheer amount of brain power you had to put into this project to make it look so perfect.
I think adding a small button to the desk which would automatically put the computer to sleep when the lid is closed would add in a nice touch too.
a lapdesk, a desklap ?
deskfold
And close all your tabs
You could probably trick windows into treating it like a laptop lid
Microcontroller, reed switch, small magnet, have that emulate a keyboard and emit the Sleep key code when the lid is closed, compared to the rest of the build it would be an extremely easy piece to put together. That is, of course, assuming the power button hooked to the motherboard isn’t able to be tapped into; if it was, you could just repurpose that connection and handle it with a GPIO connection.
No other UA-camr would have discussed the heating issue and instead called it a success. Kudos to you for being more forthcoming.
Yeah but he was actually building viable pc to use himself not just project to show off
@@Raderade1-pt3om and it's likely the build he's using for editing, as it contains massive amount of NVMe SSD storage, even tho he could probably build an invisible and completely silent NAS server with insane compute power and storage, maybe with a server CPU, like the most powerful AMD EPYC (9654P) that has 96 cores and 192 threads, which alone can be tricky to cool down with it's 360W default TDP, then all the drives, which requires some cooling as well
sure, a NAS server does not require a GPU, so it might not require a massive cooling solution like the desktop PC, but some airflow for the drives and a good enough cooler for the CPU, that's all he would need, and if it's running a local VPN with port forwarding for it to work, he could essentially connect to it with everything he owns for "unlimited" private cloud storage (it's easy to setup and use Nextcloud and OpenVPN, which are 2 good services for selfhosting)
I get what you're saying but they would. Like heating and cooling are some of the biggest concerns with any pc build and pretty much all of them do discuss it. Benchmarking and temperature results are major components of the pc crowd.
This is so freaking cool!
Honestly, a more affordable version of this would be great for dorms and small homes! A workspace during the day, a table for eating, homework and fun at night… or a table for crafting and work all in one!
The lift mechanism is really something… your builds are getting more and more impressive!
Honestly for practical application it is just easier and cheaper to have a Laptop instead of a desktop PC. It is portable, can be used anywhere (also as a Television replacement) and stored out of sight if not in use.

This desk seriously needs to become a commercial product! I know it would be expensive, but I'd be so willing to pay a silly amount for this!
My only thought after the video has been, "It sickens me to live in a world where a product of this cool factor isn't standard."

I mean, he had to put everything together to test it out because that's probably when the actual air flow restriction hit. Sure, glueing the wood could have been put for later, but looks like the wood never came in the way of disassembly.
and that's something he can fix for the next generation 🔥
52c during furmark at 400rpm is insane until u realize how much effort you put into engineering it. This is a sick system.
Man still fucking insane even when u realise the amount of effort
Просто шикарный проект. Но, хотелось бы внести пару предложений (может станет интересно)
1. Можно было сделать выдвежные полочки для всякой мелочи под столом. Это дополнительно скроет выступающие снизу элементы, а так-же позволит внизу разместить и дополнительные элементы для водяного охлаждения, а точнее элементы для заправки воды.
2. В эти полочки можно будет разместить пульт от ножек. Ведь высоту вы не будете регулировать каждый раз, как вы садитесь? Значит и этот элемент можно было бы спрятать. Хотя, если палочки вы делать не будете (с водяным охлаждением и так проблем нет), то можно спрятать пульт снизу в боковую отделку. Она как раз под углом и если кому надо, он может начнутся и посмотреть как именно идёт подъём. А можно будет и просто на ощупь поднять и опустить, смотря на глаз.
3. Надо сделать железную пластину снизу, куда можно будет вещать магнит.
DIY Perks: Endgame. The much anticipated sequel to DIY Perks: Infinity War
0:25 already hooked. looks bloody fantastic
My jaw actually dropped
@@n8mo came here to say the same thing. i was like WHAT THE....
I'll be mad if this isn't the first result when people google "desk pc". The bar is now set way high.
This is actually unbelievable. 10/10 video. Probably the coolest PC on YT.
Channels like this give me hope for the DIY space. Ive been thinking about building my own desk out of spare desk and while i wont be building this type of build it still gets me existed to try.
This is one of the best things I’ve seen within the computer space. I’m completely blown away by your ingenuity and troubleshooting. Desk looks absolutely incredible. Bravo
Love the video and project!!! Just wanted to say you should put a cloth/velvet under that magnet to stop it from scratching the wood with repeated opening and closing
I was hoping for a motorized opening system with a push of a button, but that magnet is actually so elegant that I fell in love with it. That build is so sick.
Hidden button underneath the desk lol
Maybe if the button was flush in the wood, but even then, a strong magnet is way cooler. Essentially a key that you have to know about. You can find a button relatively easily....
that can be done easily. just put some dc motor with big ratio gears on the sliding rail and hidden button somewhere and donediggitydeal
This build is seriously cool, and I would consider making one in the future! Awesome work!
Only 2 notes I'd make are that:
1) Does the keyboard platform collapse if you put enough pressure on it (from resting your hands, gaming etc)?
2) The fans aren't enclosed in anything, meaning that you may have problems if anything spills on the desk or something hits them, like a cable for example.
11:09 "and that's why I bought 40 of them" absolutely killed me
and yet ended up not using them
😂😂
Your projects always reach such an incredible level of fit and finish. They manage to be stylish without being snobbish, unassuming, but not boring, and sleek, but not edgy. And everything manages to work elegantly. A lot of DIY content either has really complicated, technical skill requirements or is held together with zip ties and hope and looks like it probably broke the second the camera was turned off. Your projects always have such wonderfully elegant solutions to all the little problems you have to solve that manage to seem doable by an averagely "handy" person with regular tools and skills without being a janky mess. Incredible work.
You really never cease to amaze us.
Honestly, the desk is deep enough, so the extra fans at the back sticking out will likely NEVER be a problem.
Sure, you might have to clean them a bit more often without a mesh in front of them, but they're relatively high up, and don't suck/blow as hard even.
This is the most badass computer desk build I’ve ever seen. Unbelievable. I want one so badly, but I don’t think anybody else could do it. Amazing.
I love how calm he is. Any other youtuber would hype you out with a cool looking pc which comes no where near this build or any of his build. Love you Matt you help me go calm too.
The coolings issue wasn't a surprise. Those fine-finned heatsinks were designed to be used with fans running at ~5000 RPM. The wider the spacing is between heatsink blades, the less additional air pressure is needed to cause air to pass through. For instance, passive convection radiators have "fin spacing" in the order of centimeters, not fractions of millimeters. And even then, radiators used for heating often use oil inside instead of water to allow the temperature of the fluid to be higher than 100C.
I can see why he would have thought they'd work, laptop heatsinks also have pretty tight fin spacing, although those heatsinks are much thinner than these monsters
was thunking about mixing detergent in so itd make the water hold less air and probably, somehow, increase the flow speed; detergent slippy water not, uga?
Yeah, but one can't be an expert in everything. Some stuff you can't predict ahead of time, no matter how good you are at what you're doing.
Well, or you're not pushing your capabilites.
He also put the fan intake in an enclosed environment with heat producing components. And the top side is past a slim chute that certainly doesn't help with losses. Him not leaving a gap at the end also traps hot air if air intake was not already an issue.
I wonder how he cools the VRM though. That thing is cooking itself with an Intel Core.
You lost 1 there! You meant 15000 rpm+. 1U servers can get SCREAMING. With modern CPUs crossing 400 W, the fans are pulling 350 W+ in dual sockets. Within last 6 years or so power density of servers went from ~800W/U on the top to close to 2200W/U. Liquid cooling in datacenters is becoming a requirement - these heatsinks may become quite rare :)
Nothing makes me happier than seeing DIY Perks flash on my screen with another banger. Thanks for all you do!
same
Amazing! The ONLY improvement I can think of (and apologies if someone already mentioned this) is to have the wood grain match in both in the open and closed positions. Tricky but totally possible! One way would be to lay out the pre-milled / pre-resawn planks over the work surface and identify which zone of the planks occupy the cut-out area. Ideally, the grain of the planks selected for that zone would be fairly straight vertically from the top surface of the plank to the bottom surface of the plank. Once resawn, those thinner planks would have matching grain. Ensuring that the surfaces of the planks recieve the finish consistently is a bit of a crapshoot but I think would be worth a shot if you're ever going to make more of these.
I really admire the fact that you still left in the clips of the original cooling system even though it didn’t work well
I know in your industry there's always an incentive to dismantle older projects for parts to use in future projects, but oh my god I hope this thing is never decomissioned and will just always exist somewhere forever like a powerful and unique item from videogames, but in real life.
Oh Yeah sadly that why I never saw mych of his older projects in here he prolly dismantled every one of those lol
after putting so much money into it and doing so much highly specific custom work on it I dunno if it would be reusable so easily.
The main issue I see is cabling more than just a few things into the popup drawer so... It's really one of those things that you hope never needs any kind of troubleshooting sine it takes at least 2 people to get it on and off the legs.
Imagine being a single guy and styling so hard on million dollar companies like LTT with dozens of people and high level industrial machinery. Amazing build and incredibly clean aesthetic. Kudos!
It's almost as if when you specialize at something you get good at it!
There is no videos on the internet that makes me go like "MAN, i really wish i had that" like this channel's videos, congrates man, your work is something special.
This was a beautiful build that could be even better with a couple small enhancements. First, replacing one of the gas struts with a small linear actuator would make the opening and closing automatic, controllable by the same panel as the table lifting mechanism. Second, you could opt for only one layer of heatsinks and use 90mm fans instead and I bet the cooling performance would be equally as good. If you're not already using high performance thermal paste to interface between the brass rail and the heatsinks, that might also help too. This really inspired me to think about building one of my own versions of this desk and the kind of features I'd like to include. Nice job!
This is beyond excellent. You sir, have prove yourself to be the best DIY creator of all time. When I read the title of invisible PC and saw the thumbnail, I thought he hasn't hooked up the monitor yet but I had no idea that it is in the desk itself. This is one of the best PC builds I have ever seen.
EXACTLY!! When he first flipped it open I was floored!
Waiting for “Today on DIY Perks, we will be using galvanized square steel, eco-friendly wood veneer, and expansion screws to build a suitable living area for little John and his 1 millions kids.”
ngl he used eco friendly wood veneers here
John isn't a muslim so don't worry about that.
@@abeginnerspov5968i know islam permits polygamy, but I've never heard a stereotype about muslims having many kids. The stereotypes I've heard is usually referring to Hispanics or those of the indian subcontinent (majority hindu)
that's not funny anymore..
@@X_manonot wanting kids is mostly in hyper-individual/western cultures where family/community support is not encouraged and promoted by the society. Hard to want kids when even 2 incomes is not always enough to make ends meet and childcare costs an arm and a leg.
Hello bro! I watched your video on another channel. It was in Russian on that channel. even though I didn't watch the video on your channel, I still want to say thank you for this video. I really like to see how a person does what they love and does everything well. The table is just wonderful! Good luck to you!
400 rpm on the fans is amazing! That final shot of the heatsinks is so awesome. Love it! Great work.
The most impressive part of this video is that someone finally found a practical application for that Corsair monitor
Wish he integrated the flexible capability somehow too. Or did a triple.monitor setup
I can't believe this man keeps coming with the most awesome product ideas. This man needs to be on the MKBHD podcast for real
Wow. An absolute joy to watch such craftmanship, epic end result and big props for fixing the cooling issue right away.
