It's neat looking in a vacuum but outside of an art exhibit I can't think of anywhere it wouldn't look completely out of place.

Yeah the idea is cool, but holy shit is that desk ugly as fuck.

How are you supposed to turn on the monitors? The buttons should be facing outward.

So completely impractical was the design goal here?

A desk/case that costs more than the components I have in it? No thanks.

For $1200 I expect legs that don't look like they're off of some shitty folding table.

It's fucking beautiful and I want one.
The desk design is ugly, but the idea is awesome.
Hehe.. looks like they wired the buttons below the monitors. I don't think I'd go with that lighting personally, but to each his own.

oh boy, that glass top sure isn't going to be super dusty after a few days
and man my neck is sure going to love me staring at that high ass monitor
and I can't wait to hear a loud fan noise in front of me while the table overheats

Not for me, but I appreciate the idea nonetheless.

Designer #1: "So we've made the top portion ascribe to hard angles. Do we have the go ahead to follow through with the same aesthetic the legs?"
Management: "No, it would be cheaper to use standard bent tubing."
Designer #2: "But that would look terrible and ruin the aesthetic."
Management: "Did you miss the chart that explains the cost difference between the two?"
Designer #1: "On top of being profitable, this is going to cost over 1K."
Management: "So?"

I look at this and think "people complained about the light bar on the DS4...".
You think those same people have a setup for their gaming PC's like that? lol
I'm thinking of building something like this. I have a large format CNC router and could easily mill the aluminum and wood, but I'm also thinking this could be an opportunity to build a few for others.
From the response in this thread it seems there is a market for desks like this.

Glad someone said this first... As a hardcore PC enthusiast, I wouldn't use that for anything...

The advantage of using this desk/case is not immediately clear to me.
What are the pros?

Hopefully there's an option to pad lock it... because I would be a bit paranoid if someone were to rifle through it.
Little space wasted on an external case for a computer, integration cuts down on wire clutter, crappy legs make it look like a wal-mart dorm desk so potential thieves will pass it by.

You think a large portion of PC gamers have a setup like that? Lol.
