Widescreen Gaming Forum

A while back I revamped my all trusted heavy duty desk with a new hardwood plate and a suspended computer mount. That project can see seen here http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showth ... t=18566378

Then last month I found out my local timber yard had a large amount of hardwood shelves on must go away sale from the same manufacturer where I bought my desktop. I decided to build a monitor platform to raise the monitors a bit and gain some more space to put away the mouse, keyboard and other stuff.

I made a sketch to make sure the monitors would line up nicely in the joints of the platform. (I'm making a program or spreadsheet later, where you can just put in the dimensions of your monitors and choose between some design options and it will return the sketches and measurements you need for making one yourself.)



Work in progress



The plates are cut according to plan



Glued together and later oiled



Gluing on the legs



The platform without monitors



The platform with monitors



The platform closer up



Added IKEA LED light strips under the platform towards the back



With the curtains pulled to darken the room a bit

I like what you have done with this, nice and tidy

This is super sexy.

I really like the use of wood. Nice mix of lo-fi and hi-tech.

Nice!

Any update on your program. I am trying to figure out how much distance there is from the left edge of the left monitor to the right edge of the right monitor in a 3 monitor configuration when the outboard monitors as facing me from a slight angle.

All of my monitors are Asus ROG Swift PG278Q (27" diagonal). Great gaming monitor BTW.
