Thanks for watching! Yes, I drilled the wood shelf to 2 2x4s as I showed in the video that were drilled into the underside of the desk. I don't know of any glue or adhesive that I'd trust with the amount of weight that would be attached. I've seen others that instead of attaching a desk to the table, you could use a piano stand on wheels and wheel in in and out from under the desk which could give some more flexibility. My tabletop is solid hardwood so I'd trust a little more weight on it than a particleboard table. If you have more questions please ask. :)

It was based on the size of the piano that I had, but you can realistically use any size as long as it fits underneath your desk. Just make sure the shelf is thick enough to support the amount of weight you will have on it, especially if it’s a heavier piano than I used

Thanks for watching! It’s still in great shape and I sit in it for several hours every day. I’m a big guy as I said and it’s been very great to me thus far

Hi thanks for watching! It wasn’t, but I decided to add a metal support underneath to further support the desk and alleviate my nagging fear of that happening. It had been fine for about a year, but it was something I decided to do for peace of mind since it was cheap.

Thanks so much for watching! Yes, I have 9 of them in my build now and they aren’t too much different from the noctua fans they replaced. Just be careful and check case clearance if you go with these as they are 30mm thick instead of the standard 25mm. I had to swap to a new case because these wouldn’t fit where I wanted them to in my original case. I’m also able to run them at lower rpm since they have more performance from that thicker frame

Hey thanks for watching. Much appreciated! In retrospect and for my own sanity I’d probably go with something like a full 1 inch thickness, however I did add some extra support with a metal bar underneath just in case, although it wasn’t necessary. Just didn’t like the flex from the thinner panel.

@ thanks for replying. I ended up getting a sit/stand desk. So I am just using my keyboard Z stand under the desk. And just slide it out when I need it. The Sit/stand desk is motorised. So it’s perfect. Just have my Z stand in its lowest setting.

Much appreciated! As you can imagine I’m still learning the TH-cam thing haha. I’m no 3d printer or anything (yet) but they were pretty much store bought permanent magnets with adhesive stuck to the back of the shapes with a precut metal sheet bought from Home Depot. You’d definitely be able to cut your own if you have the tools/knowhow, but for simplicity and finding a cheap picture frame from Walmart, I went with a precut sheet that is a very common size for pictures. I think we can all agree that nanoleaf’s mounting system kind of sucks and should just use magnets for both wall attachment and interconnect as standard but here we are haha

Thanks for watching! It is the ikea hammarp solid oak countertop. I’m not sure if they still sell it, but solid oak countertops are available at lots more places now than when I bought this since Covid kinda opened the floodgates to DIY desks.

So happy I could help you out. Thanks so much for watching!

Hey thanks! It’s been great for me thus far.

Yeah that’s a great idea! Although there are other lights out there better rated for outdoor use, these would probably work too!

Thanks for watching! If your tabletop isn’t solid hardwood then I’d probably not do it. I’ve seen lots of pictures and videos of people putting too much weight on top or hanging from a laminated tabletop and it coming apart.

It was at first, but I added an angled galvanized steel support bracket that spans the entire length of the shelf, greatly increasing the support. I don’t play hard and pound the keys or anything since I am just learning, but the shelf has no issues with moving or shaking when I play. I hope the video helped you out!

@@TechedOff It certainly inspired me, as I am in the process of constructing a shelf myself. And good to hear some steel support will help!

@@TechedOff Good Idea with the angle Bar. So you have the angle bar screwed into the holes on the sliders running the length of the tray?

Appreciate the feedback! Will fix in upcoming videos. Thanks for watching and I hope the video helped you out.

Thanks for watching! That is an IKEA Hammarp oak countertop on tow of two white Alex drawers.

Thank you so much for watching! I appreciate you watching, and I hope the video was able to help you out. Believe me, I know I'm not a Hollywood studio and I'm trying to get better with each video, but I'm particularly proud that I bought them myself so I can say whatever I want. Happy Holidays!

Thanks so much for watching! I apologize for the autofocus issues, but I hope the video was able to help you out nonetheless. From what I’ve read sonic appears to be the newer and (mostly) superior technology so any sonic toothbrush should be an improvement I’d think. Keep checking other reviews as well before you decide, but from what I’ve read very few toothbrushes out there charge with a non proprietary connector. I figure that matters to you and most who watch otherwise people would buy an oral b or Philips and be done with it. I must say for traveling the convenience is great.

Yeah there was some trial and error with my setup. Hopefully this helps you out so you don't have to learn the way I did! :)

We got this! :)

The drawers? They are called alex drawers fro Ikea.

I’m not sure either honestly. I was just going by what the products say on the box. Perhaps they say one amp each as a conservative number to leave some leeway in case someone plugs more than there should be? Thanks so much for watching!

Thanks very much! I take any and all feedback seriously and as a message of support. It could’ve been just as easy for you or any other viewer to simply leave and move on to another video without saying anything or providing any feedback. The fact you took time to write a constructive response helps a lot and is very appreciated!

Thanks so much for watching! The product listing lists it as 30 pounds. Alone I agree which is why I put a metal l bracket underneath for additional support. My desk is also solid wood. I’d never do this with laminate particleboard as that would probably pull right out.

Hey thanks so much for watching! That was the Corsair 760T. It’s been discontinued for awhile but there are still some third party sellers or used sellers that may have it.

@@TechedOff Thanks!!

Thanks for watching! You are probably right I wouldn’t doubt that myself having owned both. In terms of performance though all else being equal usually a thicker fan will perform better (provided there is room in the case of course)

I'm sorry to hear that! It looks like purple doesn't even sell this model anymore either. It looks like they went through a rebrand and (rather sneakily, or maybe not) raised prices at the same time across the entire lineup. I've had my mattress for over a year now and I've actually not had any problems with mine at all thus far. To be fair I am single and sleep on the bed alone so perhaps it does not wear down as much. With that said, I would probably check out the warranty information if your mattress sags that much even when not on the mattress. These kinds of prices for a defective mattress are unacceptable for sure. My favorite part of the mattress personally is that it breathes and is the best I've tried at not trapping heat. While it doesn't actively cool like other foam mattresses, it has those air pockets that don't trap heat and that's made all of the difference for me since I'm a big, hot sleeper.

@@TechedOff yeah i went to the store and tried the "newer" model. It is the same. Just different cover. The sagging issue is known. I only weigh 200lbs. It should not have sagged in less than 8 months. It also is the ultimate back killer over time since it doesn't offer spine support over 180lbs. Spent lots of money for the hyper. Get burned and learned.

@@shaunb6014 wow that’s crazy. They’d better warranty that. Were you talking about the all foam model or the hybrid? I have read online that the all foam models are more prone to sag.

@shaunb6014 200 is heavy but not very heavy. I had the hybrid 3 for 4 years and no sagging. They told me the new ones have new coils, but I don't know if that is true.

Thanks so much for watching. I hope the video was able to help you out! Yes, I'm absolutely still using it and it's going strong even after since moving! If you like, you could always take a table leg and prop it up underneath the middle of the desk behind the keyboard as there is room. I haven't seen a need for that so far even after testing my own paranoia and taking a level along the desk just to check. Also remember that this is a solid wood desk and not veneered or particle board, so it's much stronger than most off the shelf desks.

@@TechedOff Thank you very much for your reply.!!

Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad the video was able to help you out. As you said, yes the desk is a bit higher than is considered "typical" by most. Your keyboard and mouse are a tad higher than you'd be used to, but thankfully I've personally gotten used to it. I guess the "perfect" option would be a height adjustable desk, but then you lose the drawer space of the alex drawers. (which I absolutely love BTW)

Yeah I’m totally with you on that one. If a review is sponsored or the whole “sent product for free disclaimer” I immediately call BS. I can tell you I’m very happy with this mattress having slept in it every night since I bought it. I am a larger guy and do usually sleep hot and this mattress has been perfect for me. While it isn’t actively cooling like other foam mattresses, the purple grid breathes and does not trap any heat, giving me a neutral feel all night. Yes some of it is personal preference, and I personally don’t like foam mattresses because I always sleep hot in them, but others may feel different. My favorite part about the purple is the grid that gives more resistance and doesn’t let me sink into it like a foam mattress would. It’s almost like an innerspring mattress that breathes. If you are able to try one out in person I highly recommend it!

@@TechedOff is it good for side sleepers?

@@smegg9676 I would say so as I’m strictly a side sleeper- I can’t sleep comfortably any other way.

Thank you for watching! No shaking for me at least so far whenever I use it. I don’t play the keyboard violently either and it’s been very sturdy for me thus far.

Same to you! I hope the video was able to help you out and give you some nice ideas for your setup.

Interesting I’ve been looking and can’t seem to find anywhere that isn’t sold out either. I see that it is still listed on their website, however so I assume it is still sold perhaps the supply chain issues are hitting them too? I’ll keep looking and let you know when I find it

The piano is 38 pounds and the shelf is a few on top of that, so not too far off from where you’d be. Main thing to be aware of is support. I have the 2x4s mounted at 4 different spots each with 2 screws at each spot. I haven’t seen any give so far with my setup at this point.

You are very welcome! I’m glad to hear the video helped you out.

My desktop is solid oak back from when ikea sold the solid wood hammarp version

Floor to top of keys = 29.5 inches. Floor to top of desk = 32 inches. Thanks so much for watching! I hope I was able to help you out.

@@TechedOff Thanks

Thank you so much for watching! My countertop is an ikea oak Hammarp. Not sure if they are still sold or not. Two ikea Alex drawers on the side. Hasn’t been in my way at all since I added the desk risers. It definitely was in the way before since there was a need for more clearance underneath with the keyboard below. I would definitely use solid wood and not veneered for this application. With the weight of the keyboard hanging underneath, that extra stability definitely helps.

Thanks very much for watching! It is 72 inches long on top of two Alex drawers from ikea with furniture legs used as risers. The desktop is solid oak ikea Hammarp. 24 inches deep I believe.

@@TechedOff alright. Thanks man. I might have to make something similar in the future.

Hey thanks! Just doing the best I can. Hope it gave you some good ideas!

Yeah the bigger numbers are softer for sure. I remember reading that the 3 gives a lot more support if you like a firmer mattress. Hope you find a mattress that works for you. Thanks for watching!

Haha thanks for watching! Yeah it’s really comfy and I regret not buying it a lot sooner lol

gottem

​​@@TechedOffhow is the mattress now

@@Jesse-ff6hb Still sleeping on it every night! Definitely the coolest mattress I've ever slept on, and no signs of sag thus far.

@TechedOff I was going to upgrade to a Purple mattress with a 4-inch grid, but then I found out they discontinued it, which is disappointing. I hope they bring it back if they make new beds again.

Thanks for watching! Mostly I have adjusted my chair to the proper height if need be to make my arms more comfortable to me. The desk is raised with spacers so my legs are able to fit underneath the table and keyboard comfortably. I have been comfortable so far using it. My only issue is my bed is directly behind my desk so I don’t have too much room to adjust my chair around as I play, but that’s a function of the size of my room rather than the desk itself. So far so good!

@@TechedOff ok well as long as you can also adjust your computer monitor then I guess it can work, thanks

Thanks so much for watching! Since I've bought these ( I currently have 7 of them) only one has had problems with LEDs going to the wrong color. Fortunately, I was able to contact Phanteks support and they were able to send a replacement strip that was easy to replace. The frames have screws that allow you to swap out the LED strip for a new one without any trouble. I do still recommend these as I said in the video they "decouple" the RGB from the fan. Most RGB fans have not so great specs, and most great performers have not so great looks. This way you are able to have solid performance with some great looks. I hope this helped you out!

Hey thanks for watching! I still use it today and it hasn’t budged since I installed it. My desk is solid wood but the shelf is particleboard. The l brackets provide plenty of support and I used several on each side spaced out to evenly support the weight. If anything I’d be more concerned about the particleboard shelf than the desk since my desk is solid wood. My desk is indeed one inch thick.

I’m happy I was able to help you out. Hope the setup comes together nicely!

Glad I could help! Thanks so much for watching and hope the video helps with your new setup.

Hey thanks for watching! So far for me it’s been perfectly stable with no buckling or sliding at all. I don’t play excessively hard, but from my own experiences thus far I’ve seen no issues with sliding or stability. Hope the video helped you out!

@@TechedOff thanks. I'm trying to upgrade my setup with this kind of exact thing. Thanks for sharing!
