DIY Perks, a popular YouTube channel known for its innovative projects, has taken on this challenge head-on with its “invisible” PC build. In all honesty, the project is a true testament to how technology can be seamlessly integrated into home decor, creating a setup that looks both functional and visually unobtrusive.

The project begins with the conceptualization of a motorized standing desk designed to conceal an entire high-performance gaming PC and its peripherals within a custom tabletop.
A hinge mechanism is incorporated for the monitor hatch that includes custom hinges, pneumatic struts, and tension springs to facilitate the smooth opening and closing. These components ensure stability and ease of access. For the display, Perks chose the 45-inch Corsair Xeneon Flex ultrawide bendable OLED monitor, stripping down to its PCB and panel, minimizing bulk and fitting it within the custom desk setup.
Cooling was a critical aspect of the build to ensure the components remained at optimal temperatures. The cooling system for this high-performance build initially featured custom water blocks for the CPU and GPU to manage heat effectively. However, for better performance the setup was later upgraded to include larger heatsinks and 140mm Corsair fans.
