You really are a gem of a youtube creator, there are no half measures. You release a full paper written guide, full cinematic build guide and the end result is a brilliantly functional, and beautiful desk PC. There is no waffle, all the shots are amazing, super high production quality, all done by yourself. This truly is a piece of the absolute highest youtube video quality and lots of other people could learn from this.
No one could have said it better! That's actually everything this channel has been for me since i started watching. The production quality is from another planet. There are hardly any channels who could keep up with that. I hope you (DIY Perks) sees this. I really want to say thank you! You are awesome and should continue what you are doing for the sake of quality DIY builds. :)
@@greencactusgaming2101 you might surprised to hear that these modern components are extremely power efficient and that power consumption really hasn't increased much. Furthermore, a lot depends on the quality of the PSU rather than the wattage. A good quality (platinum+) 600W would be the minimum recommended for this build I would have thought
@@greencactusgaming2101 I agree my PC by this standard is very basic but still 800W thought he would have at least gone 900-1000W
@@mellak001 Why? I checked a couple of PSU calculators and a 7800x / GTX 2080 / 64 GB DDR4 build like this (with the drives) has a psu load of around 500W. 600W is enough ^^
Absolutely no doubt about it.
This guy is a video creator, voice artist, presenter, woodman, engineer, technically knowledgeable and finally an Artist.
Yessssssss
@@abhishekvaru ]
"woodman" lol
This guy does DIY like he's in professional manufacturing.
True
Now that you say it, he probably is 😆
Ikea should hire him
Is there a point where it ascends past being DIY? If so, this man hit that point a long time ago.
because he is
"Sit back. Relax. And enjoy."
Because he knows as well as I do that there's no way I'm actually gonna do this.
Probably the only TH-camr that I could watch a 30 minutes on
Pure truth
Nah, just in 1 sesion
Sure he's brilliant.
I loved his work.
Agreed!
Haha me to

haha yeah!!!
Pretty normal for a PC build video...
i mean building these things arent cheap
well pc parts aint cheap and its normal to have lots of brands
"What sort of PC do you have?"
"Desk."
"You mean desktop?"
"No."
wont this technically be considered a "Wall" this time? I prefer the actual desk pc he did on his other video though.
@@ezekieldominiquintal7556 Kinda agree, both really impressive, but the desk one is more practical

@@doodrobe1761 Wall-mountable Desk-top.
You should've said "it's complicated"
LinusTechTips : " we build awesome custom PCs "
DIY Perks : " Hold my beer "
Letting LTT hold something is a bad idea if you want it back :)
I would love to see a LTT video critiquing this build. For example, Mechanical hard drives... floating to vibrate and move will lead to failure far earlier than they should.
They should do a colab that would be awesome!
Abdul Basit actually, make that ‘hold my hammer and screws’
XD
me: wow what a built , wait, HE JUST MOUNTED MECHANICAL DRIVES?
This dude is the Bob Ross of DIY
How did i not make that connection? Soft, smooth voice. Elegant design. With just a hint of ASMR.
ah i was thinking, computer bob vila... this old computer.
I knew i was filling a hole in my heart
The Marty Stewart of DIY
I heard my name?
Yay, you got your hard drive back, congrats!
Thats what i was going to say! Im glad he got them back

UwU
Not for a long time, soon they will get bad, as not securely mounted.
This guy is a good electrician, a good painter, a good mechanic and a good carpenter too
leomes spidey and designer, and presenter
The guy is a fricking genius. His house is probably like an entire STEM fair!
What's a STEM fair? I've never heard about it. Tell me more
CES 😂😂😂
@@akidoomar STEM stands for Science Technology Engineering and Math. A STEM fair would be a convention showing off all kinds of things that would fall under that banner.
WE Missed you!!
Thank God the Hard disk recovery was a Success! Love you!
Please don't make us wait so long next time!
Looking forward for next video already!
How did ppl know about that ?.. He didn't mention it. Strange.
@@knownuser09 he made an update video LMAO
Also his tweet. 😉
You should thank the guys at the recovery center instead of God. They did all the work after all..
@Henry M. Not an atheist. I'm agnostic. But if there is something, then I'm sure that there are either multiple gods who do their own job, or the god as we know it isn't almighty and we have no reason to thank him since he couldn't do anything about it.
(I could explain in detail why, but this isn't really the place for that and I don't really have the time to do it :p )
edit: I did a little bit of research, and I think that (According to wikipedia) Apathetic agnosticism describes my view on the topic perfectly: "The view that no amount of debate can prove or disprove the existence of one or more deities, and if one or more deities exist, they do not appear to be concerned about the fate of humans. Therefore, their existence has little to no impact on personal human affairs and should be of little interest."
the most relaxed , hardworking guy on youtube
And he is British, like me!
He sounded like the people who sent the parts to him for the build were very inpatient, probably pestering him for updates! they must have thought he wasn’t worth the wait for their crappie parts.
But when he released the project they must have melted like ice cream in the Sahrah desert.
This man is a Master at DIY.. and more so in explaining his work.. true inspiration for ever one out there... makes it look fool proof..
Yeahhhh
This build really has everything and is so perfect. Noise isolated, water cooled, in-desk, and all while looking really elegant and subtle. The idea of having it in the back under the desk it so good. All of it is so well executed that it's really satisfying. This is by far the best PC build video I have ever seen. Most of the time I get bored after 5 mins, but I've watched all 30 mins of this 3 times over. That's not even to mention the editing and the brilliant commentary, which makes the whole thing so pleasurable and relaxing to watch. 2.5 million views is quite a lot, but this deserves more, at least 20 mil
YES, YOU'RE BACK! You managed to save your Data! Not only that, though; what a fantastic build!
Was that the project where he lost his data?
@@achannelhasnoname5182 this one, all the footage of the build was lost but happily has been recovered. th-cam.com/video/yjdvpGK9TmE/w-d-xo.html
@@achannelhasnoname5182 that name though...thanks for the laugh!
The fact that you can design and build such an amazing project, while also filming and editing a thorough video blows my mind. Keep up the amazing work.
probably why it takes so long to do a project, if he didn't record he could probably bang out 5 of these a day
Exactly, tho cooking video is hard enough, cant imagine in this project scale. I find it hard to concentrate doing things while also filming the process
He also made a manual guide about this build with detailed explanation and measurements plus some tips, it really took a long time and patience (sorry for my bad english)
I built my first PC back in 1995, I've seen hundreds of build videos, especially in the last 5 years on TH-cam. This is, by far, the most spectacular!
This is beautiful, and the fact that it's powerful, expandable, super silent, and subtle (until u look for it) is just amazing.
I think i will be speaking for many if I said this should be commercially produced.
Keep it up you're a gift for all of us.
This is a really phenomenal build mate, and an excellent video. As a fellow TH-cam creator, I can 100% appreciate how utterly devastated you must have been when you thought you might never get to share it with the world, but equally how over the moon you must have been to get your data back. You said you wanted to come back with a bang, well this was an explosion! Huge congratulations, well done - and I look forward to seeing more new content from you soon! Paul.
How did you know of this hard drive issue ?. He never mentioned it at all.. Your a wizard maybe.
@@knownuser09 He mentioned it on his last video.
@@knownuser09 he did a video a month ago
th-cam.com/video/yjdvpGK9TmE/w-d-xo.html
I'm just so happy you got the footage back! Great job Matt
I was going to say the exact same thing.
This is my favourite video from you. Lovely stages. I really appreciate the cost-focused design work (MDF desk work) and that you attempt to showcase your design using tools that your average DIYer may have in their home (unlike most American workshop channels). And to top it all off, you share the PDF of the build for free. Thank you, you are enabling others to follow you.
This would be very appealing in sound recording studios. Maybe even having a fold-down shelf holding a midi piano keyboard on top
took words right out of my mouth
when installing computers for sound studios we simply use thunderbolt cards like this one... www.asus.com/us/Motherboard-Accessories/ThunderboltEX_II/ and then a thunderbolt docking station with its own power at the desk area and the PC/Server room can be up to 100Metres away(but man are the cables expensive... a 10m cable runs about $200)
You are, without a doubt, the most refreshing and interesting youtube diy content creator right now. Your stuff is both ingenious, creative and informative/educative. I hope you keep this up!!!
You, sir, are an absolutely creative and inspiring genius!!!
This guy's videos are so therapeutic holy.
This channel absolutely blows my mind! I can actually see myself building something like this myself once I move to a slightly larger place. Usually "DIY" channels go "All you will need is a laser cutter, a 20 ton hydraulic press and a lathe..."
I have never in my life watched a 30 minute youtube video without skipping at least 40% of it. This, I watched every second.
You sir, are a genius and a youtuber others should try to be like.

Done. 😊
Done. 😇
I don't think my friends would care much about this, but I did it anyway.
We did.
Already shared to over 600 gamer followers on my twitter =0) would love to see the water chiller mod version as well !
This would be a perfect addition to a VR room. It turns a wall mounted pc into a piece of functional furniture!
The table folding to expand your vr space would be awesome
another amazing project.
What I would only change- add a pocket between the PC and the wall for the vertical sliding drawer holding the monitor. That way, with the table folded, you can have an invisible PC setup
I do not really like and comment, but this seriously is impressive! DEFINITELY want to see the chiller project!
The amount of work you put into these builds never ceases to amaze me. Top work, as always!
I would build this if I was a: carpenter, cad engineer, electrical engineer, acoustic engineer, pc engineer and has some money in my bank account.
Add some space in my apartment to the list too lol
"its actually not that hard"
mostly just the last one for me
Why is it sooo soothing listening to Matt explain things? I sometimes just come to his channel and play whatever just to hear that soothing tone and charming British accent.
Thank you for your incredibly hard work to bring us such great ideas!!
*TH-cam recommends a cool DIY video*
Me: "Lets watch another DIY video of something I want but will never build"
lol same
It's called living vicariously. Kinda like watching porn but not as messy.
"LoOkS GoOd To Me..."
this man is million generations ahead of us, he is from the future
I love pc building and tech related content, this is by far my favourite build, I'm watching again for the 2nd time.
this mans only purpose in life is to achieve top tier *_AESTHETICS_*
and top tier SILENCE
i don't like that grey tho
Without sacrificing functionality.
@@celestix_ I am the opposite, I thought it was beautiful, to each their own I suppose.
I'd like too see a more in-depth video on the capacitive touch switch's.
Check out TTP223 datasheet or just look them up on google. Loads of info if you are really interested.
Datasheet: datasheet.lcsc.com/szlcsc/TTP223-BA6_C80757.pdf
get a relay module and a capacitive touch switch.... connect them to your power supply, connect the i/o pin of the relay and switch together and thats about it.
if you have no idea what i am talking about: i STRONGLY recommend you to learn some eletronic basics, because you deal with mains voltage here!!
Get some Arduino starter kit for example.
Done some research thanks.
This is incredibly inspiring. As you stated it is a mixture of nearly any diy technique. And demonstrating that even rubber band can be useful in a computer build :-) It is a marvel that you can make it look easy.
this guy consistently gets into the millions of views for each video and it's no mystery why. a true renaissance man
Of course we want to see the chiller!!! It is amazing having you back!
Out of the entire build, its the capacitive switches that blew my mind.
out of curiosity why? you use capacitive touch switches everyday they are in TONS of electronics. Your phone screen is capacitive touch and it not only works as a button but can detect exactly where the press occured. My monitor has them, my toaster, my coffee maker. I made some for a project 20yrs ago, just wondering why that is what blew your mind.
@@dreded7961 It blew my mind too it's just that I never saw anyone do anything like that
@@asdfasdfasdfaf ahh ok, that makes sense. It wasnt that they exist its that they are so easy to implement. That I understand.
True that capacitive switches are not something new. But his implementation of it, along with the flush brass finish is just damn gorgeous and inspiring. One thing that irks me is that he didnt make a switch for a reset button. Another minor thing is the buttons are not labeled (small engraving on the MDF or on the brass button would do). But like i said, it is minor detail on an otherwise a beautiful built
@@dreded7961 may you tell me where i am supposed to connect the I/0 output? Or how the board works in general (i just have basics knowledge of electronics unfortunately)?
سی دقیقه بدون پلک زدن میخکوب داشتم نگاه میکردم، تو بهترین یوتیوبردر دنیای ساخت و طراحی کامپیوتر هستی!!! عالیییی بود
By the way to help you translate, this is Persian
Your videos just blow me away. I'm an engineer and your knowledge and ideas are outstanding, truly outstanding. I really hope you patent something which takes off and makes you extremely wealthy. We need people like you to inspire young kids to start designing and building stuff.
Do I need it?
No.
Do I want it?
..... Hell yes!
ikr
I can see Linus getting so jealous of this build. 😁🤭
RIGHT?!
It doesn't matter who you are
I would actually love to see a video where Linus starts out watching this. Then gets annoyed and jealous and completely rebuilds it in their own style. It would be hilarious XD
Arterexius and then fail spectacularly.
@@frameWut_ Oh yeah. I still remember how Corsair roasted Linus after Linus tried to tease them with buy lots of broken mice without stating why. When he finally stated why (on twitter) and provided a picture of them being glued to a wall, Corsairs only response was: "Well, at least you can't drop them now". I was dead lmao xD
You should be building these bespoke for people's homes, they've got to be worth a small fortune built to this standard. Your TH-cam output speaks for itself as your CV. Just a thought with people spending a lot of time in their homes these days, might as well have a productive sideline.
This is a great way if you have no space and being able to us a desk. This looks awesome and is aesthetically and gives feng shui great job. Love the way you used double pane glass and rubber bands to damping the noise by isolating it. The fact that you still us all of your DIY stuff like you mic, light panel, light bars, etc. is awesome. Like most have mentioned you are the Bob Ross of DIY.
Gamers Nexus should review your case. ;D Incredible work, Matt!

nooo he just frosts a lot of cakes in his free time
@@flueberly
But robots don't eat cake. At least I don't think so.
Why am I talking about this?! I gotta find a place to hide!
who would ever click the thumb down button on this guys videos.... this is amazing and very well done!
cheers to you man! Great video and awesome build!
It is soo good that u tell us everything step by step..
I've enjoyed all 1956 seconds of video, yes, seconds, because this time was priceless!
I watched the whole video. 1957 seconds.
Better than linus
Someone get LG to pass him that 5K ultrawide for this setup
That would look great.
or just three 144hz monitors...1440p ones. No need for a "5k ultrawide" that is 60hz, this is a gaming pc not an editing one. I swear people hear "higher resolution" and they think they need it but it's just not practical.
Primo TH-cam content right here. Zero clickbait, zero fluff, just pure quality.
I was watching one of your other videos and was thinking, why are all these youtubers building typical box-PC builds when it'll be better to build it into the desk? So I google search "build pc into desk" and your video was the first result. Here I was, thinking I was clever, when you exist. One day during this pandemic, I will get around to building my own desk PC!
Alot of hard work and planning went into this project great job! Fantastic video!
WE MISSED YOU A LOT , WELCOME BACK 😇😁
great and clean watercooling - i like it
Where has this product been all my life?! Works like a charm!
When comparing the noise levels I can't hear a difference between the recording with the glass and without the glass.
The noise was masked by the idle noise of my own pc... xD
Animiles Lmao
Ha! :D Made me smile...
- Do you have PC?
- No, I have a table.
it's a PT = Personal Table
Kinda needs its own name doesn't it. It's not a desktop or a tower (I think you can call an all-in-one a desktop) and I don't think 'desk PC' quite does it. Perhaps a in-table PC?
this is really hardcore for a HomeMade TH-cam channel. just amazing! this is no simple stuff! and mr. perks you are so simple and humble and it makes your work even more impressive! really good job!
I have no idea what you're on about half the time but I love listening to you
Amazing stuff.. Very glad you got your data back :D
me to been looking forward to this build for a while
same
Honestly one of the most entertaining videos I've seen in a while. Never touched the skip button once, watched all the way through! Loved It, keep it up!
When creativity meets hard work. Good Job!
Mega impressive - takes building a pc to whole new level
Happy to see that you recovered all your video files from your crashed HDD! :)
Yes!! The DIY Master is back!! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
love watching your videos. absolutely beautiful build!!! very impressive despite not having a full workshop with fabrication tools. very high end very beautiful.
Honestly. Watching you custom sleeve psu cables was probably a better cablemod ad than LTT has ever done. XD so much work
So very glad you saved the data! Just the capacitive buttons alone are worth the effort! My favorite desk computer build on the net. Thanks for this!
Best DIY video on TH-cam for years! This is setting the bar sky high!!! Well worth the wait and well done!!
So many skill sets pooled together for an incredible outcome. Great job
Most creative youtuber I'd ever watched
Best build ever.... even better than what most Company's offer
I am really impressed
For me, the best part of the setup were those capacitive on/off switches. Please do more videos using them.
I love those! they're so simple, yet so elegant and useful!
Oh my god that pre-title montage was absolutely beautiful. I haven't even finished the video but I just HAD to comment on that. MAD PROPS to the editor.
edit: Alright I've finished the video and, of course, it's brilliant as usual.
This is the single most beautiful and functional custom pc on youtube . Bro you are the one
I feel like I'm watching a training video for a new carpentry/engineering job I got hired for. You are not cutting ANY corners and it's a pleasure to watch but would be a HUGE project to take on myself.
Smartest man on TH-cam! I really admire your vast knowledge and substantial skill set.
Makes diy watercooled heatsinks alphacool: write that down! Write that down!
This is an art of ingenuity. I am just in love with what you have done. I just can't wait to have something like this to power my home cinema theatre system.
This Desk looks incredible! If i would build it i would add motors to lift up the plate.
Pls keep doing such great Projects.
Greetings from Germany
Bravo from France 🇫🇷 ! Your work is completely wonderful and amazing. So precise, sharp and well thought out. As usual, DIY at the top of his art thanks to you !
This Man is above them all... even Linus can't beat this! AMAZING... Simply mind blowing.
Am so happy that i found you.
You're really inspiring.
I can't even begin to explain how much this build made me salivate. Wonderful, wonderful work!
All the love and care that went into this... definitely shows.
I honestly had a boner throughout the whole video
Man, you work your bottom off for this project. This would be a great product if you open up your own company that would offer your customers any of the project you have made on your channel. Great ideas, great contents, great instructions and GREAT youtuber. Thank you for doing this and sharing everything.
I would also add two legs on the edge of the hardwood table, because I would love to always stare at the built.
Yeah I'd just pay him to make the products for me.
This thing leaves me speachles, thanks for all the inspirations!
The two things I watch his Chanel for, his accent and his content
Here we gooo!!!! I build pcs daily so i am keen for this!! Id love to see it upgraded to hard tube.
I also hope that elastic doesn't give way otherwise the radiator might fall and cause some leaks
you're the best i watch all your vids i have a gaming pc but it crappy
@@gabyk3148 thank you ♡
YES, YES, YES ON THE CHILLER PLEASEEEE!!!!!!
Edit: Glad you're back with a bang, long time fan and you really killed it with this build!
this man house is a treasure of tech
True craftsmanship and creativity with a full guide for how to do it. This is how you create YT content fellas, other channels should take notes. Brilliant job mate.
