I am new here, so therefore I will say hi. I have been toying with the idea of building my box right into my desk. Don't ask me why, mostly because I can. Here is a picture of the desk area.http://www.keldonsystems.net/images/DCP_1482.JPG
I want to build the actual system in the cabinet part of the desk and have the disk drive and cd/dvd drives extend vertically from the desk surface. Not quite sure how I will do this yet. A USB hub will also be built into the desk. The front panel of my audigy will extend out the front through the cabinet door. The remaining wires will be put out through the back of the desk. My questions may seem stupid but will a cd/dvd player work in a vertical position and if I use the standard spacers for the mobo that come with a case will that be ok for mounting it on wood.
Some random ideas are taking off the cabinet door and using lexan or something along those lines, that same for the portion of the desk with the computer. The area where the disks are now could also serve as a front panel instead of the door. My main theme is clean. No wires or clutter on the desk or floor. I do have *some* experience with modding, which means that I have installed lights, fans, etc but I work on cars so I have an idea of what I am getting myself into. Thanks for the input, any ideas are more that welcomed
