This slick desk, built mostly from modified IKEA parts, combines ample storage, wire concealment, and some really neat analog and digital meters to great effect.
Courtesy of Matthew Fickett, the desk packs in a pile of awesome features in a relatively small space:
There are wall-mounted cabinets in two depths. The lower center cabinets are cut to allow my monitors to be wall-mounted; the upper row holds my backup hard drives, video game consoles, speaker controller, UPS, printer, and other devices. In the right-hand lower cabinet, all the cables and interlinks between all the devices come together, fastened to a grid of garden mesh to keep them neat. In the left-hand cabinet (behind the meters) are device docks and chargers. The top cabinets are ventilated by small fans which turn on when the temperature rises, so that I can keep the doors closed.
Check out the link below for additional pictures of the inside of the cabinets and the analog/digital notification systems.
