Pretty sweet. Mount a peephole on the door and and air conditioner somewhere and your g2g. Does it get hot in there from your body heat and the lcds?

Nothing feels better than building stuff.

Add ventilation fans, an internal lock and minimal internal lighting you'll have an "anti-wife" cave!!

Very nice desk and idea.

You are so going to cook. Noticed enough space to the left where you could mount an optics, just run a straw to the mouth :D. Hmm, maybe a wow carpentry forum in the pipeline;).

Thanks for all the feedback guys. i had the idea few years ago just never went through with it. It does have an internal lock and as you can see im pretty thin so i dont get that hot inside. however i do plan on putting in a fan. As far as the wife is concerned she likes it. it puts me back upstairs where i can still be social while i play. i do plan on painting it and making it look more like a real piece of furniture or whatever. Any ideas are appreciated though. i still gotta tweak the part where my keyboard sits. it folds up and the leg folds in so i can get in and out easy.

Guessing you live in EU, the land of notably more compact housing... personally I wouldn't fully enclose anything like that, but I'm 6'2" and 350lbs, big guys don't like small places!

I do like that when finished it will allow you to have the mancave gear without the mancave wiring sprawl being out and visible to the entire front room!

I would be afraid to have a desk like that, I'm pretty positive my wife would find a way to lock me inside and disconnect the computer, till I mowed the lawn :P

this makes you a closet boxer then ? :))

great Idea, but I doubt that the social things work, when you are in a boss fight and your wife starts talking to you .... been there, done that, dumped her after a wipe.... :)

My wife is pretty cool as long as she gets her time, shes a stay at home mom so she doesnt work at all (except wife things around the house). so she doesnt say anything when i come home from work and play for an hour to unwind. I just get on do a heroic and a couple dailies and log.

Wow, my anxiety went up a few steps for you! Coffin of death and suffocation...awsome...
But on a happier note, you could just be wheeled out as a whole unit computer and all, No mess, no fuss, packed and ready to go :D

your comment made me think of a computer case that you actually go inside, how cool would that be !! granted you wouldnt want to take any drinks in but still could be pretty awsome with some pretty lights and stuff.

patent pending the computer case office space..... watch out dragons den

You could always get your fan in there put sheetrock on the outside make it match the walls then make a folding seat on the outside of it so it looks like a wall with seats on it lol. That way when you have company over it lloks like it belongs there and no one calls you weird for having that there.

I would paint it and add some lights, maybe a few custom fans and make it look like a huge computer case.... seriously, make it a big ass computer case you sit inside and play. woot...

you get +5 man points for that and another +3 cause the wife likes it.!

I like it, all you should actually do is build some fan ducting connect it to your regular AC in the house and your set, maybe get some stuff in there so that it does not make that much noise out or in in other words noise canceling. Of course if your wife ever wanted to get rid of you she could lock you in and you would be done. All she have to say is he was multiboxing and must of died in there, I was out with the kids shopping lol.

It's actually the best way to tame an aggro wife.

Great Job, I could see myself snacking up and sitting in there for hours.
