Thanks for the tip! I will try to check some metal shops around my area.
I would happily raise my budget a few hundred bucks for that.
The 410$ was calculated with MDF as the main material.




Another nice thing about aluminum, is that for many of the joints, it can just be bent. Aluminum can also be welded.
I was kidding about them paying you to let them build it, but once they understand what you're doing, and how awesome it will be, you'll get a seriously reduced price if you mention them in all your vids etc.

Oh btw my dad used to be a metal worker. Not sure what the correct term is, when i translate it it becomes 'blacksmith', he made stairs, gates etc.
I might ask him for some advice about it. The Red harbinger cross table is made in powder coated steel and aluminum: http://www.redharbinger.com/shop/cases/cross-desk-usa-only/

Might double the cost of the build materials? from 410 til like 800$?

Hell I'd just grab that.... then you can get your local machine shop to mod things to add to it, if you need.

Believe me if Red Harbinger Red Cross table was still in production I would get one instantly! I think they sold their last unit about 3 years ago.
The only ones I know making PC desk tables are Lian Li. In my opinion those are really plain and borring.
1999$ for this one: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112560

There is no reason to go off-topic. Take that over PM instead.
Now Ghot made no post back on my response to his.

That one looks OK. Maybe save a few pics of desk cases you like and check out local machine shop.

It may not look as nice but I always prefer a single main monitor and a secondary 4k HDR monitor for movies etc etc

There will be a 4k TV in the upcoming office.
I really do need at least 2 monitors for productivity work.
Which 4k HDR monitor do you have?
