ATTENTION ALL CaSE MODDERS!

i have an idea i need help with. ok so atm i have got my computer on a desk at the foot of my bed. and this turns out alright as i can lie in bed and use it for hw and chating and such but my case is under the desk. and due to retictions of the bed to the desk i have to reach under my bed to get to the case, and to change any cables going into the back is just extremly annoying.
So i have decided to build a new desk. and this is when i had the idea of building my PC into my desk. so everything had a hideaway place and it all flows smoothly and everything is easily accessible yadadadada

so i am asking for anyones help to design this desk for me. but the tricky part is i would like to have it so i can easily pull apart for transportation. when i take it to my mates house and for modifications and stuff. and if you thinks its going to be too hard... then i would atleast like speakers and a few USB plugs comingout the front...


anywho if anyone is willing to help please email me bring_what@hotmail.com
or even post a reply to this. and i will get back to you as soon as i can.

the dimensions of the desk would roughly be 150cm x 40-50cm x 90cm and my bed height at the end is just under 60cm. and i have an LCD screen so if that makes it any easier for building it in or anything then yeh...

thanks for your help guys.

This has been done a few times. Do a google search on "desk pc mod" or something.

ok i thought of an idea.

the case will basiclly be a large box 150cm x 40cm x 20cm

it will be mainly wood.

the front of the box will have 2 speakers and both ends so 4 total and in the centre will have a display with the basics

on/off and reset switches
fan speed dials
LED or LCD screen fuklly functional and customisable from the computer...
Usb ports atleast 4
adio in and microphone in
the cd-rom will be underneath this display

inside the box will have all the "ingrediants" of a computer all seperated for eg the ram wont be directly attached to the motrherboard (is that possible) i know you can do that with the graphics card but what about ram.. anyway

so its all spereated and the psu will be off to the siode and the 'essential ' ports will come out the side also. (any better ideas) maybe underneath

there will be about 4 fanwes underneath so the venting wont be a problem.. and the top side will be made of clear perspex, easily removable by slidiging it out.

and to top it all off mad LEDs and random neon lights giving it a red glow.

what do u think... the colour ill bve black and my sub will act as part of on of the supports so sound shouldnt be an issue.

it may not be as awesome as some of the others but this is practical as i need a desk to fit my computer.
