I also planned on such, but the desk would require a metal frame, and that means either expensive aluminium profile with even more expensive bolting hardware, or welding. Learning to weld properly would take a while, and my father doesn’t wnat me to use bolts or make it anywhere “modular” to make it “very strong”.
At some point I’m going to tackle designing and building a computer desk. I don’t think humanity has done it right yet.
I came up in the 90’s and 00’s when everyone had a Windows ME era Compaq set up on one of those Bush brand tube-and-panel desks that was supposedly purpose built to be a computer desk, but they STILL ended up way overcrowded because they STILL hadn’t thought about all the stuff you would have with a computer. So a subwoofer, the computer itself, both, or some other piece of equipment would end up in the foot well, cable management is a nightmare, no one in the furniture industry has ever acknowledged the existence of the UPS…
Then everyone got laptops, then everyone got phones and tablets, and then oh yeah desktop PCs are a thing, what are desktop PC gamers using for desks these days? A rectangular slab on L-shaped legs. Is the current state of the art in computer desk design. A table. Weirdly thick and heavy, and completely featureless.

It’s a challenge I want to tackle.
