Invisible PC projects are ten a penny but this one is so good, I want all my rigs to be like this

pcgamer.com:

My work and gaming desk is pretty big, but it's also pretty full of monitors and multiple PCs. I could go down the small form factor (SFF) route and free up a lot of space, but that's pretty costly and limits what hardware I can use. It'd be perfect if I could have a magic wand that could hide it all when I don't want it and then bring it out when needed. Or I could just have a go at the same project that one ingenious DIYer has done and have everything seamlessly hidden away inside the desk itself.

Just watch the first 30 seconds of the video to see what I mean. When I first watched it, I wasn't sure what the host was going to show us, in terms of exactly where or what was hidden inside the desk. That 'reveal' sequence genuinely surprised me. It's not like the Lian Li DK-04F gaming desk where just PC components are kept inside, it's an entire PC—monitor, keyboard, mouse, mat, everything.

The display looks to be a Corsair Xenon Flex 45WQHD240, a 45-inch OLED gaming monitor. You might be wondering why this was used instead of something like the Alienware 34 AW3423DWF or the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 G93SC, because if you're spending $2,000 on a monitor for the ultimate invisible gaming PC, you'd want the very best screen.

The problem is that those monitors have pre-curved panels, whereas the builders here (YouTube channel DIY Perks) wanted an ultrawide OLED panel that could be laid flat against a surface. Personally, I think all ultrawide screens need to have a bit of curvature to them but in this case, it'd make hiding it, and keeping the desk relatively slim, a whole lot harder.

As for the rest of the PC hardware, a ubiquitous Core i9 13900K and GeForce RTX 4090 combination is used, with both being water-cooled. I found it a little funny that, despite having such a huge desk volume to play with, the DIYers chose a tiny ASRock Z790 PG-ITX/TB4 motherboard to house the CPU and GPU.

One issue with the Lian Li DK-04F is that it's designed to fit standard-sized PC
