Thats the basic idea. I like the angle concept too.Kevin DeSchwazi said:Looks neat; can't really think of any disadvantages just so long as it's not anywhere near where you knees are going to be.
I'd probably want to angle it more towards me though so the controls are a bit more acessible.
Yeah - it would definitely make the desk unusable for much else (what with a big square hole in the side.....)Fishmed_Returns said:If you feel comfortable enough to build it into your rack, I think it would be fine. The only advantage I would see is that it might make things look a little neater; that is if it was done right.
I probably would just build a rack and place it on top of the table. If you get a new desk in the future, you can then take the rack off this one and put it on your new one.
Yeah...the patchbay could go in there...cusebassman said:And don't forget climbing behind and under the desk to access any I/O on the units put in the rack, unless you have a patchbay, in which I case I will go over in the corner and stop talking.
Nice MS-Painting, btw![]()
Very NICE!!!Fishmed_Returns said:Here is a basic design of a desk that I built for my studio:
The blue sections are racks and the gray is a 19" rackable mixer.
On the right is a section for a PC keyboard to sit at a more eronomic level.
I placed my monitors (PC and speakers) on the very top, above the racks.

You built it yourself?

---------
I built the desk in four parts: Two sides, the upper rack, and the middle desk section. This will allow me to move the desk out of the room if I move or sell the desk to someone else. My previous desk was built into the wall which I removed because I thought I might moved, but that was a couple of years ago; anyways, I feel I have more room now with this set up.
You've done a great job yourself.SonicAlbert said:Nice, job! But it looks like it needs a leg in the middle, as that is sagging a bit. Or maybe it's just the picture?
Here's a photo of the rack desk and mixer rack I built for myself:
