I designed a gaming desk for me to build.. requesting thoughts?

[Today]

So I am building a new gaming rig, so with that I decided I will build a desk to hold the big ass set up, so I decided to make one today, virtually... This is my first attempt at using sketch up so please give your thoughts!

This is what the area will look like with my desk there.

This actually looks really good. When I made my rig, I just threw it together with no game plan, as well as almost everyone else. Looking back, I wish I had a plan as detailed and easy to see as this.

Good luck creating it, everything looks great!

Looks cool, but leaves no room for expansion.

No need for expansion, I have enough room for a 3rd monitor which ill be impressed with my self if I end up getting.

I personally like have the 2 monitor at the same level so I don't have to raise my head but that's my personal opinion overall it looks really well planned out and good.

How about a TV on that wall

I suggest just putting a small hole under your keyboard then routing your cables into that I did that and oh man was one of the best decisions I've ever made makes it look super clean and adding new stuff is really easy to wire manage

This looks very nice! Maybe add some more personal thing like posters or others and you'll be set! Good Luck!

Im debating making the hole closer, my problem is I will already need USB extensions (no problem) but I am very picky about having a smooth pushing and pulling lane for my mouse cord, even the slightest jerk or tug on it will piss me off :rofl:, so I will probably move it closer for more slack.

I put a little slack under my keyboard so if I need a little more I just pull it out

Best of luck with building your desk I made one then the leg fell off (shows my skill) so I went to IKEA and bought one

Mh, I would go with another desk, something clear, like, White & blue design, something really clear. White big desk on the wall, in front of you the 32 inch TV, then the 3 monitors, keyboard mouse, a stand for the middle monitor and, some plant & shit for making it clear af. Oh and, White walls

Wait so you think I am gonna paint my room white...? just to match a desk...?

I custom made my desk, and from the look of your SketchUp thing yours isn't nearly deep enough, particularly near where the second monitor is. How many centimeters deep is it in that area?

Also, why not have the desk as an L shape against the wall? It would be infinitely easier to manage the cables rather than having to route them all under the desk to the side.
