You're telling me. You know how many times I lay in bed at night thinking about the project I am about to start. I convince myself it's going to going to take 2 hours.... 2 days later, I have a whole new house. haha
Based on my experience of watching super high quality content driven yt tech videos over a decade, your channel is surely going to be the best in few years. Highly impressed on your pace, technicality, transparency and primarily the usability of content! Much love mate!
Damn, I've been seeing some of your videos and honestly thought you were a multimillion subscribers youtuber. Never realized that you were at a couple of thousands. So, keep doing what you are doing, cause you are doing it right! Earned my subscription!
Honestly, I think it's time to build a proper PC. This awesome desk is just wasted on some shitty laptop. Desktop would offer more power for same price, you wouldn't have to deal with all the dongles and it could probably be built in to the desk itself. Which would be really cool.
The “more power for the same price” argument doesn’t really work since he’s already bought the laptop, plus the portability aspect of a laptop could be important to him
@@ZillionPrey but then if he will use his desktop then his main files won’t be on his laptop that’s one issue and it’s a very big one like bro you can’t bring your desktop OK and all your files are there. How will you transfer them now it’s a bore just put it in the hard drive or in the SSD you know like if it’s already there in the same format and then a laptop is just a way better option you know.
so cool! I love making spaces that look like movie sets and my next plan is making my studio look more cyberpunk. I had no idea what to do for the desk but you just gave me an incredible idea. will try something like this, it looks cool and seems very useful. thanks!
This is great! Can't wait to see the finished desk! Also as others have mentioned, it is insane that your subscriber count is so low, but keep doing what you are doing and I can guarantee you will be in the multimillions.
I love this series, here is a little tip to the glaring issue on the Touchscreen: Get a Matt Protective foil for touchscreen displays. This will eliminate a good portion of the glare and also will hide a lot of fingerprints. I also think, that this would look better in your setup because of the frosted look you get with it.
Amazing suggestion! I'll order one that I can cut down to size, and then swap out to 4 of those "non-beveled" edge washers to compensate for the added screen thickness 🤙 love the idea
oh my you won't believe! as I hit send on my comment my mind flashed back to having spare matte screen protectors for an iPad Pro from 2017... sure enough I check the cupboard and it's there. I'll cut one down to size and give it a go.
Your wife is probably happy that her desk is already perfect hahahaha. Love all the iterative tinkering you're doing with your desk! Let's go!!! Docking station sponsor!
Great to see the project evolution. I have a suggestion to "solve" the reflection problem: Consider to use a matte screen protector, like one we can use on smartphones. I use one here and it make my phone screen looks like a colored e-ink display. You will get 0 reflection. The downside is: the light will not be reflected, but can spread on the screen, here, depending on the angle of the screen and light, can affect the visibility. You can give it a try. Its not expensive and it will be easy to remove if you don't liked.
Great video, love this! I'm interested in the UI that you come up with. I was thinking of getting a smaller monitor touch screen and emulating android through it (Bluestacks)
Oh nice I keep forgetting about Bluestacks! I'll be playing around with the UI over the next few months, trying to decide on if it's all a static page or if I develop some different pages for "modes" like one view for productivity, gaming, etc.
Hmm... You can get polarising filters for cameras that reduce reflections... I'm wondering whether it's possible to get a screen protector with the same properties to fix the issue shown at the end.
I have a feeling if we looked at our AliExpress pages the order history would be similar haha, the aluminium extrude desk is a brilliant idea! I hasn't considered that but I used t extensively in my Van! crazy, also the Gridfinitry bins just sitting in the drawer made me chuckle. This is a cool setup!
You may have a non standard setup. but i also have a middle screen that is 2k 144hz that i had a tough time finding dock for my work laptop and also a 3 port KVM that could run triple Display port outs. That way i have work and home office in one desk setup. 3rd monitor always fails to switch. so i have a nice 3 port display kvm but i use 2 and switch hdmi/display on the center monitor to make it all work....ahhhh. this should be so simple by now. FYI: when i saw the small screen i thought you should of got the long super wide screens for that center console. They make 12" x 4" touch screens and similar sizes. that would look really cool in that center location. I almost got one to go into my custom pc desk.
Stoked to see your impressions of the super note; that thing looks rad. I love pen and paper though, I'm a little old school. Desk is coming together brilliantly man - for some reason I want to see a little more stuff on the surfaces; like knobs and sliders next to the screen ... do you have plans to add more controls density or are you liking it clean like this? Thanks again for putting all these videos together it's so fun to be along for the ride, and to learn with you! LAST THING: I feel like you could have chiseled / routed out a little channel on only the back side of the wood / plastic to accommodate that pesky ribbon cable. A little manual work, but I feel like it wouldn't be too bad to achieve that glorious tighter fit. Cheers mate
Yo Adam, Your idea about chiseling out a bit has stuck in my mind since you left this comment. Tune into the next part releasing tonight, as I reference your great comment here! In regards to more stuff, yes I want to add switches, led bar indicators, 7 segment displays, but that's all after coding the dashboard. Thank you for the tip
@@camshand oh awesome! I can't wait to see what you've come up with! It's always a good day when there's a desk update, and I'm honored to have contributed a little idea. Cheers!
It's actually a static wallpaper 😅 Inspired by some rainmeter skins I had as well as other hud UIs. But they all showed real public IP details which isn't great for TH-cam haha. So I made my own wallpaper that gives me the same vibes until I make a custom skin that hides personal details
You inspired me to do something simular with my set up. Im still trying to find a way to mount it I might 3d print a holder of some sort. Thank you for sharing. PS You also helped me set up the touch controls so thanks for that.
You have a 3d printer, a laser cutting device, a colorometer, and countless other high-quality toys, but you can't afford a new USB hub? 🤨 (Sweet desk btw, I'm just jealous that you are implementing all the ideas I've only dreamt of 😅)
All purchased before I left my high paying university job to pursue TH-cam full time. Financial circumstances can always change, but I'm grateful that I have the equipment I need to do what I love to do!
I did this to my desk but i used a pair of mini 14in 3840x1080 ultra wide touch displays getting my 26in long dash board all running on a Pi4-8gb micro HDMI and usb's for touch into a dual KVM so i can switch the displays to my main PC or the Pi
Yes that's on my list! Been looking at some low profile adaptors. but I do know that FPV drone cables are super thin with essentially PCB and ribbon cable so might look for some of them
Sometimes the user needs to find the touch settings in Windows to set which screen is paired with the touch panel, because Windows never gets it right by its own when the touchscreen is not the primary display! 🙄 This "Raspberry touch LCD" is perfect, despite it's just 800×480 resolution, it's nicely plug-and-play in Windows, despite it's not marketed for it at all! 🙂 My version doesn't support sound, just HDMI display only. I just mounted mine onto a salvaged leg from a broken old LCD monitor, nothing fancy. 🙃
Fantastic addition to the desk! I'm so perplexed by decisions from the screen manufacturer haha. How is it that residue-leaving stickers are still being used in 2024?! 😂 Can't wait to see what's next!
Awesome project my man! Really inspiring to even try something like this desk for myself! And also I laughed hard with the room light directly reflecting no the middle screen 😂 Cheers my friend! ✌️
hahaha oh man when I first sat down and saw it, gotta be kidding me! Good thing I mainly use the studio video lighting, the room light isn't on often as it casts shadows of my head on my desk haha.
I've gotten one of these for my setup, and I love it. However, the one thing I don't like is how it moves my mouse cursor to wherever I'm touching the screen (It's not independent). Do you happen to have any solutions for this?
I don't unfortunately, as it's a windows touch input "feature" I haven't really looked into if there's software that can override it as I tend to only touch the touchscreen when gaming and that doesn't snap my mouse to the monitor as the game keeps my mouse on it
OMG what was that displayport adapter???? i have a 3440x1440 ultrawide with 144hz and i can only run it at 100hz because of my laptop not having any displayport
Yeah it took me a little to find something that worked with G-Sync. Your USB-C port need to support DisplayPort Alt Mode (DP Alt Mode). Then you can buy a Display Port 1.4 to USB-C dongle, and it should do the GSync and high refresh rate handshake with external monitor. I'll put a link for the exact dongle in the description as TH-cam has started to block putting them in the comments section 🤙
it's actually a static wallpaper I made after wanting to make a custom rainmeter theme, and then planning out where things will go, and then... well just saving the image and making it the wallpaper haha. One day, I may make the real thing
I love how you include what went wrong - it’s an encouragement for the rest of us who hit problems too!
You're telling me. You know how many times I lay in bed at night thinking about the project I am about to start. I convince myself it's going to going to take 2 hours.... 2 days later, I have a whole new house. haha

Thanks for showing your struggles with the screen! Will be useful for anyone else if they buy it
You could center the screen panel in the cutout, then use black vinyl to make all the bezels look even
just stummmbled uopn ur channel and damn dude ur content is sick. love the energy!!
That's awesome to hear! I love to share my passion for tech, always good that the vibes are getting through 🔥
Now that IS the BEST desk screen! I love your work, man.
You could cnc a groove for the stick-out ribbon on the underside, so the top is flush with the screen
I am so happy i found your channel. So much inspiration for my own desk project!
im enjoying this series out alot, and im also hopping that ill be able to do something similar when i move out
That is truly one of the coolest setups. waiting for the next part

You could get a matte screen protector for it to cut down on the reflections. This desk build is awesome

@@camshand I hope you'll show us in a followup!
is it working well? :) @@camshand
Haha glad you found one so quickly!! I put a matte protector on my tablet and it makes reading on it 1000x better @@camshand
Your wife is probably happy that her desk is already perfect hahahaha. Love all the iterative tinkering you're doing with your desk!

Haha yes she is very happy with her desk getting an ultrawide I once had for review, all the parts she needs.

Oh! Now that looks so awesome! Can't wait for the next video!
Very nice, I keep 2 27inch screens on my desk oriented perpendicular to the desk.
Great video, love this! I'm interested in the UI that you come up with. I was thinking of getting a smaller monitor touch screen and emulating android through it (Bluestacks)
Oh nice I keep forgetting about Bluestacks! I'll be playing around with the UI over the next few months, trying to decide on if it's all a static page or if I develop some different pages for "modes" like one view for productivity, gaming, etc.

One of the best channels I have stumbled upon. Love to see where it goes in the future.
Might have to cop the screen for myself :)
I had the same windows touchscreen problem half a year ago
I absolutely love this series
I have a feeling if we looked at our AliExpress pages the order history would be similar haha, the aluminium extrude desk is a brilliant idea! I hasn't considered that but I used t extensively in my Van! crazy, also the Gridfinitry bins just sitting in the drawer made me chuckle. This is a cool setup!
omg the side bezels being different... WHY DAMMIT
that would drive me nuts
haha I know! No idea why it was manufactured like it... no bezel is the same thickness lol 😅
i wouldve never seen problems like this, i live in nigeria and watch tech videos for fun but to help with english, cool vid!
Love the desk. After completion of the desk, share the pics of the desk to "TechSource" channels setup wars. it deserves an award.
You may have a non standard setup. but i also have a middle screen that is 2k 144hz that i had a tough time finding dock for my work laptop and also a 3 port KVM that could run triple Display port outs.

4K60hz is maximum bandwith of that port. Since your monitor is less than 4k it may work at 85hz. You just have to try it
the finished product is gonna be so beautiful
about to drop the vid tonight 🤙

It’s 2:40 at the night, I need to be up at 5:20 and I don’t now wtf I’ll do after this playlist end.
sick desk!
nice loved the video, keep up the great work you are doing! 😀
awesome desk setup and wokrshop office 😍
what type of app do you use for your Raspberry Pi monitor
bruh he did all that work for nothing, he just made a mini monitor
youtube why do you just now show me this creators channel !!?
i have been searching all over for exactly your kind of video's 👌👌deserved sub
Sold more of this i really need some these screens
You have a 3d printer, a laser cutting device, a colorometer, and countless other high-quality toys, but you can't afford a new USB hub? 🤨

Where did you learn to solder, build stuff like this? I also do projects like arduino and other stuff so where did u learn?
Great video mate, go the 25K!
I did this to my desk but i used a pair of mini 14in 3840x1080 ultra wide touch displays getting my 26in long dash board all running on a Pi4-8gb micro HDMI and usb's for touch into a dual KVM so i can switch the displays to my main PC or the Pi
very nice! i would like to see your cable managment
i do the same with a ipad pro 11 and usb c with a app called duet as a 2nd screen with touch and also just for my audio digital mixer
Awesome project man! I'm so inspired 😅
can you get 90 degree cables so you dont see them on the left side of the touch screen?
Yes that's on my list! Been looking at some low profile adaptors. but I do know that FPV drone cables are super thin with essentially PCB and ribbon cable so might look for some of them
Add a paperlike screen protector to the screen! It would make it so much better

i was wondering when you where going to add a screen i have been looking at the same but my ocd is stopping me because of the bezzel
What program do you use to display that information on your desktop ?
It appears in the video at 4 seconds and also in other parts, for reference.
some 3d printed spacers would be nice
Another great upload by Cam 🎉
Loved that Gridfinity cameo!
Очень странный стол, потеряно много места с правой стороны. Зачем штекеры и провода на столе? Вы часто их переключаете?
thats really cool
Bro's desk eats more power than my house
I'm inspired!! I wonder what the third panel will be 👀
Me too 😅 haha I've got most of the parts, but I'm trying to finalise one section of it. Pretty hard to fit all the knobs and switches I want to have!
I put a chemical toilet under my desk
you should get an anti glare screen protector for it to reduce glare
Yes someone suggested this and I've got an iPad Screen Protector to cut down to size.
This is on my todo list!
Not a fan of the concept, but the execution is perfect! Awesome job!
bros electricity bill leveled up ☠💀💀
Hey, I have a question. I have an old android tablet, is it possible to use it in the same way you have done?

thats exactly what im using my samsung tab a6 for, voicemeeter and streamed over Spacedesk xD. Looks a lot better than my setup tho lmao
I've done something like that with an iPad mini 4 (70€). I use it with Cubase and some others stuff.
I feel like you couldve filled that entire space though
what is the stats on the desktop? rainmeter theme?
it's actually a static wallpaper I made after wanting to make a custom rainmeter theme, and then planning out where things will go, and then... well just saving the image and making it the wallpaper haha.
One day, I may make the real thing
whats that black figurine with yellow face?
A MegaBot from Big Hero 6 that I 3D printed, added magnets and painted his faces as Disney hasn't made one! Haha, one of the perks of 3D printing
Improvement idea. Remove the screws from the panels and replace them with magnets.
wheres the shirt from?
Did you build the desk or buy it
Amazing!!!
Hey what did you use to write the idea down at the start of the video?
is your desk bendıng or is it the lens
weylp, now i am required by law to take my old touchscreen laptop that no work and do this with its panel. curse you for inspiring more projects!!!
ive used this damn intro song in wedding videos
what software u use?
What is the software for the sound mixer?
Voicemeeter Banana, free and incredibly useful for Windows :)
could have kept it flush by just recessing the part where the ribbon cable was
Great video my friend, earned a sub from me! Absolutely love this kind of content!
Hello, Wow, Congratulations Cool 👍👏👏👏👏 I am impressed. 👍👊🙌
Using SpaceDesk and an old tablet will give you comparable results
Use a mattte screen guard 😁 to reduce reflection
amazing video saludos desde argentina
