Comment on Build my PC into my Desk?

Whatever cooling holes you make, consider ducting them into your PC case so that the components are sipping on ambient air and efficiently exhausting the heat. If your components are going to be built directly into the desk with no case then make sure they’re not making contact with any conductive surfaces and consider larger diameter fans so you can move enough air without making a ton of noise.

How large of a diameter are we taking? I have two 4in fans I was planing on making part of the desk and then the two 3in that are part of the tower that I plan to connect to the drawer.
I do have everything set up to properly insulate the components and someone else pointed out that mounting the PSU directly to the drawer will also ground it. So I got that going for me.

Given the extra amount of volume in your PC’s enclosure, I would love to see a couple 200mm fans for intake and exhaust. Just in general, a smaller number of larger fans will move more air at lower RPMs, so that’s just what would make sense to me if I was building my own ad hoc PC case with larger than usual dimensions.
