FAQ TIME! If any of you have any questions, leave them in this thread and I’ll update it as they are asked :) Q: What tool was used to round the wood corners? A: Here in the UK it’s often called a surform, but rasp is also a common name Q: Isn’t the monitor too high? A: Slightly. It looks more so on video due to the perspective but it’s still pretty comfortable. It was only mounted there for this video anyway and will be moved somewhere else so I’ll make sure to have it slightly lower this time. Q: You’ve made loads of custom PCs… which ones to you actually use? A: Currently I use the brass and leather build for editing at the studio, and the large silent desk PC (the one with the glass front) is at home and used for photo editing and some gaming etc (though to be fair I haven’t played a game since last Christmas so it’s a fringe use case at the moment). Q: Have you considered watercooling the PC itself? A: Yes! I went with air cooling as it’s actually pretty decent (I still need to make some minor tweaks) but I do have plans to try watercooling the thing at some point. Q: Do you plan these videos? I mean do you make blueprints or you just have a general idea what you're gonna do and just make up on the way? A: I pretty much always just have an idea of what I want in my head, and then think through the process needed to get there, and then make it up as I go along. Q: Is making TH-cam videos your primary/ only job? A: YEP! I’m so grateful that I can do what is basically my hobby as my actual job. Q: Are you from the UK or from the US? A: Very much the UK. Q: Could you use a hydraulic system to lower the monitor in a more controlled way? A: Absolutely! It would make it more difficult to push upwards though, so keep that in mind.
I have a question , my fan goes to 100% for 10 seconds when I turn on my PC. why is this happening? is this something that the computer does by default?
@@Parsafari That's not really on topic but ok xD it's totally normal. Most systems start the fans high speed and then ramp it down to get over any starting inertia problems.

Imagine how confused thiefs would be when trying to rob this man's house, all electronics are hidden in some secret compartment where they can't be seen and nobody would look. All they see is a fancy desk that has nothing on it, a living room with no TV and a kitchen that has no oven or fridge.
@@wambo4266 It's spelled different too. The Brits spell it Aluminium, which explains their pronunciation, but I've got no clue where the spelling difference came from.
@@Leigh_1302 Telegraphs were sent by the letter, which meant that every letter to a message added to the cost of the telegraph message. This resulted in the removal of certain "excess" letters in words such as "colour" or "judgement", which led to them becoming "color" and "judgment", respectively. I assume the same thing occurred to the word "Aluminium" which then became "Aluminum".

Its very pretty, But I think if you are going to use a monitor like that having some positional control would be nice - even just a little bit of tilt adjustment would be useful. So for me use a monitor/tv wall mount type arrangement between your hinged surface and the screen - so when its down you can easily get that monitor to a better position for you (even better one of those highly adjustable arms but that is much harder to hide in the shelf- I think you would need a tube or two for it slide down so the shelf becomes not attached to the wall but held up off the table -good for hiding the wires in though). If you are going for such a fixed position setup the laser style projector built into the PC desk or Shelf seems a sleeker option to me. You need nothing but the tiniest window in the surface to let the projector project onto the wall or a projector screen. So its really really hidden - and putting in all those fans in the PC desk means quiet cooling of the projector is already sorted (as projectors tend to be quite small with loudish fans but the desk already has way more airflow than needed diverting a little won't hurt.)
Practical??? 1st: Nonadjustable monitor, what a burden to the neck and lower back (because your body is the one to adjust to the monitor) 2nd: Moving it is mortal sin (so much work IF your gonna "Clean, Repair or Move" it.) 3rd: All that Construction work, for minimal Benefits (purely Aesthetics) Dunno bout Practical bro.

Absolutely! I would really love to see the monitor be automated, so when you wake the computer from sleep or press a button or something the monitor slowly lowers down.
Small idea for improvement to the desk PC. Before adding the veneer to the top, cut out a round, properly sized, hole in the aluminum off to one side. Then after the veneer is in place, mount a wireless charger to the underside of the veneer. It would be invisible from the top of the desk, and you could set your phone down on the "invisible spot" to charge while your on the computer.
not gonna lie, based on previous builds that's exactly what I expected after watching the 'part 1' desk build! Whilst this is great, I'm slightly disappointed it's not motorised!
How about a simple catch release? Add a pneumatic spring for a door to slow it down and make it move smoothly. You'd still need muscle power to put the monitor back up in the shelf, but at least it would lock itself in once you did. This would be an upgrade whether you signal it with the presence of mains power or trigger it by hand. Just not having to fumble for the catch when putting the monitor back up would make it worthwhile.
Some thoughts I had after watching this: • Add an external USB port linked to the monitor's usb hub port to the top shelf. You can make the external Hard Drive look like a book(s?) sitting on the shelf. • Create a fake potted plant (or something) to act as a usb hub sitting on the desk. Oooh maybe make a potted mushroom like your old mushroom lamp design. Would love to see an update to that. • Even though the surface is aluminum find a way to install a wireless charging area on the desk. So you can just set your phone / headphones case down and charge them without plugging them in. Maybe put the wireless charger in the fake potted plant? • Hide speakers somewhere in this impossibly clean build.
I was wondering why not go through the added effort of putting some wireless chargers in the desk as well. Too bad he didn't do that before putting on the wood laminate on the top.
@@nerdhector6190 could work nicely, though I would imagine that acoustics would be a problem, as the speakers would be firing into the desk, then bounce back up into the shelf, creating a bit of echo. If they were flip out too, though, that would be mind bogglingly amazing
@@siddharthnair4720 You could also mount them at an angle, if the driver size doesnt get limited too far by that. pop out would work, but then you have no volume behind it … or you pop the chamber out as well, but then you limit it further in size (half the area is being taken up by the wall brackets anyway) maybe … what baout those active speakers, that Tech Ingredience used to create flat speakers with? if you make the "speaker board" detachable and hinge out … ?
Linus did a hidden wireless charging point on their hidden desktop project.. it was alot of effort and not something the average person can do with normal-ish tools. They had to cut it to like 1mm thick etc.
Indeed, you cannot go cleaner than nothing at all. Unless you do the same, but even the desk has to disappear, maybe inside the wall and then the wall itself has to disappear and the house, the city, the country, the world, the universe.... * Black hole *
Your house must look immaculate. Or it's hidden like the monitor and pc is. "With a simple twist of this latch, my whole house sinks back into the ground, hidden, as if it wasn't even there"
Being a furniture designer and wood worker myself, I think it's a brilliantly executed idea. I could build one, but have no problem with my PC and monitor showing. I'd have to weigh if it's worth all that trouble. But I'm sure more than one or two people have or are going to build it. And frankly, the bracket system idea has solved a problem I have been trying to work out on another project. This man is really, really talented. Kudos to him for sharing it, whatever his income!!!
Actually your not really far off, China has already developed a virtual monitor, keyboard and mouse, it woks on holographic or hologram technology and is all available for a price, fact is, anything you want is available if the prices is right. always remember, by the time the general public sees advancements in technology it's already 35 - 40 years old. if not more. Nothing is as it appears to be on the surface... It never was. If what we think we know is a Drop than what we don't know becomes an Ocean
Your "no holds barred" approach to your projects/videos is so inspirational. Makes me want to ditch the weekly release schedule of my videos and just make awesome videos in whatever time frame I can. Totally awesome project, Matt. I had no idea the cable was hidden by the ivy and fern when you showed off the build in the beginning. Great idea!

Another added benefit of the monitor in the shelf is that you could make the screen completely white and fold it back into the shelf as an overhead lighting fixture!
I would also build in some led stripes under the shelf for lightning your desk when the monitor is in use. And don't forget some stripes on the back of the monitor for ambiance lightning.
It's an inspiring video. This means that you can create something similar, even at zero cost (outside of work), if the design of your furniture allows it. For example, I managed to incorporate a computer (an entire metal box) into the leg of an ancient table with a wooden door. I needed convenient access to memory card readers, DVD, USB, laser printer, etc. The wireless keyboard, mouse, headphones, etc. can be hidden in the same space. The advantage of such a method is that, for example, in the event of a PC failure, you can conveniently replace the entire cabinet. You don't have to disassemble the table. I have the monitor loosely placed on my desk, but this is the only visible PC peripheral. Everyone has to evaluate which solution suits them, and this is partly due to the inspiration from the video.
@@cheesewire007 yeah imagine a remake of that video, but covering every project he's done to date _now_ and how they've held up over time. That would be amazing, there's a bunch I'm really curious about. Plus it would make a good promo video for the channel since you'd see all the crazy stuff he gets up to.
If you make the screen open from front to back (bottom first) you can attach an aluminium plate to the VESA support and it will be back the monitor when full opened. You can add then some LED strips like the Corsair ones and create a Philips hue like effect, being able to extend the image colors dynamically for a better immersion affect, specially if you polish that aluminium plate or set a white skin into it.
DIY Perks should start a company selling these fantastic creations. They would be extremely expensive of course, but I think there are a lot of people who'd be willing to pay for such beautiful design and superb functionality.
While that be cool it add a lot more work on his end trying to run a company too. It would probably mean less TH-cam videos and I also feel like he probably just wants to focus on TH-cam and doesn’t want the stress of another job.
The drop down eliminates other invisible pc setups where you cant work with the monitor up requireing cleaning and an empty space to operate. But this allows more versatile and utility. Very nice 👍
it looks pretty but it's super inconvenient for people that require decent computer power.. the form factor is just unworkable.. for the rest, laptops and tablets achieve clean/minimal desks.
I love your projects, I love that you are clearly just following your bliss with what you want to do, your sincere excitement in your presentation and way of speaking about what you are doing is a pleasure to watch, it keeps me coming back!
I have seen this kind of house where the bed is hidden behind a staircase, the whole bathroom hidden in drawers which are opposites to the kitchen (so you can either access the kitchen or the bathroom), among many more clever tricks to live well in a very tiny space.
Simple thought...add a drawer to the underside of the table, and you have a place to store the keyboard and mouse. And depending on how you mount it, it could slide out, giving you better distance from the swung-down monitor instead of sitting up under it like they do now.
"Now the mouse and keyboard are still rather obvious, so I'll be making my own that can be handily stowed away in thin air using some sheet aluminium, some really nice looking hardwood veneer, 3 paperclips, 4 potted plants and this cat."
He just needs a wireless mouse and keyboard ALSO Razer has a wireless mouse that doesn't need charging it comes included with a mouse mat and as long as the mouse is on the mat or only off the mat for a few seconds it will work so he could thin out the aluminium where he would want to place the mouse mat to make the distance between the mat and the mouse as close as possible so it can keep the mouse powered up and then when not using the peripherals stowaway them in a nearby cupboard or drawer or place it on the shelf
The YT algorithm randomly led me to your channel. Wow!!! I thoroughly enjoyed watching your content. The ps5 slim and the invisible computer desk and monitor shelf vids were a joy to watch being built. Tyvm!!!!
I just found your channel today and I absolutely love your tutorials. There was something captivating (besides the quality of the content) from the very first video I watched and I'm just now realizing it's your voice and and how eloquent you are. You remind me of those voice over guys from Nat Geo and more... Your voice was literally made for that.

This seems like the mobile space-saving solution of my dreams. I'm going to be renovating a camper/trailer/mobile home for my traveling needs shortly after college, and I am 1000% down for something like this as a solution to needing a CAD machine and still needing workspace.
@@firstNamelastName-ho6lv then that kind of does away with what he did about hiding it if you're looking at it from below the shelf, you can clearly see a monitor there if it was screen facing upward
@@proskills991 Google "70's tv sets" and you'll see many models are basically living room furniture that just so happens to have a screen in the middle. you could easily put vases, decoration, a chess board on top and still have space left, these things were absolutely thick
0:29 I seriously thought, you'd press a button and power on a ultra short throw projector that you built into the top shelf. Well, this is neat, too haha
As a refinement, have you thought of using a door piston (car hatchback) to slow the monitor coming down? Some kitchen door hinges can add a spring-loaded open effect that might be unpleasant. I so admire your channel and your creativity.
This was exactly my thought... You would need to measure the shelf mounts to align with that wall studs...but then you are going to probably limited to only 2 total (vs 4) unless you make the shelf very wide (probably 48 or 72 inches wide or more
could also use a projector then hook the pc, projector, keyboard and mouse can be connected to a clap switch so you can walk in the room, clap 3 times, and your entire setup will boot up.
you just don't stop to amaze me, always coming out with all sorts of fantastic builds, happy I found your channel early on in its life (I think like 5 or even 6 years ago), so I can enjoy all the vids you upload as they come out :D
there is nothing awesome about it, if you actually think about it. like for instance a unadjustable monitor, a pc in a table constantly suffering from vibrations from the table. if there were some vibration absorbers for the tech, then ok, but still that monitor setup is bs. good idea, poor execution, not to mention it all hangs on a couple of screws, that is so gona bend.
@@William0271 1: well no shit sherlock, but i dont see them in the video, as said, good idea, poor execution. 2: imagine hitting your table, or someone just throwing some semi heavy object on it, you dont do that on a normal pc, but when you are unaware accidents happen. you have to walk on toenails around that fucking thing. minimalist is about good design, not hiding shit, this setup is not minimalist, how meny shit does he have to put on and around the table to hide stuff? thats in the way and distracting. also it is very intresting how is his pc build in that table, that matters alot for the pc`s performance, and i dont see how he can fit good parts in there when they are huge. this is a covert setup, not a minimalist one, he has the idea around minimalist very wrong. also i dont see any speakers, using a headset all the time is bad for your health.
Wow! It's really great. I'am programmer, and I like to build software systems. But not so good "in a real world". And people, who can do such things with their own hands amaizing and inspiring me. Have a good day and great projects in a future!
I was thinking the same. And some electromagnet for extra security. Put an rasbery pi to process when it goes on and off. Maybe jump the power cable to always give the active signal or a way to manually activate. I'd rather have a manual deactivation instead of the pc going off. Maybe put a timer like 15 min off it hides the monitor. After all the manual labor doubt it would sink too much time on it
at some time in the future: House broken in, all furniture gone. Cant be sure which has tech in it and which doesnt. Better take all. They also took the ivy
@@christopherjc54 If I built one, I'd have the monitor swing the other way and be close to the wall. This means it would be screen-up when folded, and then it really would stay cleaner.

@@2297william They also have similar but different goals. DIYP made an "invisible" PC, LTT is probably going to have the top part made of glass so you can see every component. The main thing they have in common aside from being desk PCs is that they both aim to be thin.
@@squngy0 true but I still can't appreciate diyp build, he used a ton of fans which are more expensive than a custom watercooling loop. And the gpu even throttles at max temp 🙈
love this invisble series! one reason i didn´t get a pc yet is that I don´t like knowing theres a huge monitor taking up my space, which pops into my line of sight almost instantly.. for my work I require working with a pc/laptop though. Once my laptop is dead, I might actually consider getting a pc. Thanks for sharing all these projects with us!

It would be possible to build a roll out shelf under the desk for the keyboard and mouse or just have a wireless keyboard hidden behind a painting and the mouse hidden under/in a potted plant lol

you have good observing quality.
The next level will be a motorized hinge for the monitor, that open it when you hit the power button :-)
Nice one .😊👍👍👍
not gonna lie, based on previous builds that's exactly what I expected after watching the 'part 1' desk build! Whilst this is great, I'm slightly disappointed it's not motorised!
That's not a bad idea actually 😂

You are an

I look up to you.
Next level: make it motorised so it lowers itself when turning on the PC....
How about a simple catch release? Add a pneumatic spring for a door to slow it down and make it move smoothly. You'd still need muscle power to put the monitor back up in the shelf, but at least it would lock itself in once you did.
This would be an upgrade whether you signal it with the presence of mains power or trigger it by hand. Just not having to fumble for the catch when putting the monitor back up would make it worthwhile.
There are many actuators on the market that would do this and easily handle the weight, would be a cool upgrade to the shelf.
Magnet
The monitor would have to have ambient lighting strips behind it as well...
Thats still sooooo much effort... Like turning on the PC
Some thoughts I had after watching this:
• Add an external USB port linked to the monitor's usb hub port to the top shelf. You can make the external Hard Drive look like a book(s?) sitting on the shelf.
• Create a fake potted plant (or something) to act as a usb hub sitting on the desk. Oooh maybe make a potted mushroom like your old mushroom lamp design. Would love to see an update to that.
• Even though the surface is aluminum find a way to install a wireless charging area on the desk. So you can just set your phone / headphones case down and charge them without plugging them in. Maybe put the wireless charger in the fake potted plant?
• Hide speakers somewhere in this impossibly clean build.
Speakers could go neatly in the two msotly empty spaces next to the monitor
I was wondering why not go through the added effort of putting some wireless chargers in the desk as well. Too bad he didn't do that before putting on the wood laminate on the top.
@@nerdhector6190 could work nicely, though I would imagine that acoustics would be a problem, as the speakers would be firing into the desk, then bounce back up into the shelf, creating a bit of echo. If they were flip out too, though, that would be mind bogglingly amazing
@@siddharthnair4720 You could also mount them at an angle, if the driver size doesnt get limited too far by that.
pop out would work, but then you have no volume behind it … or you pop the chamber out as well, but then you limit it further in size (half the area is being taken up by the wall brackets anyway)
maybe … what baout those active speakers, that Tech Ingredience used to create flat speakers with? if you make the "speaker board" detachable and hinge out … ?
Linus did a hidden wireless charging point on their hidden desktop project.. it was alot of effort and not something the average person can do with normal-ish tools. They had to cut it to like 1mm thick etc.
Linus has lost by a long shot for the cleanest build
@OMEGA who
Risk is too great for him dropping it
true
He’d drop the monitor first and then finish the project.
Indeed, you cannot go cleaner than nothing at all. Unless you do the same, but even the desk has to disappear, maybe inside the wall and then the wall itself has to disappear and the house, the city, the country, the world, the universe....

Being a furniture designer and wood worker myself, I think it's a brilliantly executed idea. I could build one, but have no problem with my PC and monitor showing. I'd have to weigh if it's worth all that trouble. But I'm sure more than one or two people have or are going to build it. And frankly, the bracket system idea has solved a problem I have been trying to work out on another project. This man is really, really talented. Kudos to him for sharing it, whatever his income!!!
Well, that's definitely not what I expected when I saw "Invisible monitory". I thought there was gonna be some projector witchcraft onto the wall.

Another added benefit of the monitor in the shelf is that you could make the screen completely white and fold it back into the shelf as an overhead lighting fixture!
this is genius
I would also build in some led stripes under the shelf for lightning your desk when the monitor is in use.

Like most people I think x)
Like every DIY video I watch...
you and everyone else...
It's an inspiring video. This means that you can create something similar, even at zero cost (outside of work), if the design of your furniture allows it. For example, I managed to incorporate a computer (an entire metal box) into the leg of an ancient table with a wooden door. I needed convenient access to memory card readers, DVD, USB, laser printer, etc. The wireless keyboard, mouse, headphones, etc. can be hidden in the same space.
The advantage of such a method is that, for example, in the event of a PC failure, you can conveniently replace the entire cabinet. You don't have to disassemble the table. I have the monitor loosely placed on my desk, but this is the only visible PC peripheral. Everyone has to evaluate which solution suits them, and this is partly due to the inspiration from the video.
It would be amazing to get a video about "Where are they now?" to see how most of these builds are holding up after a while'

Simple thought...add a drawer to the underside of the table, and you have a place to store the keyboard and mouse. And depending on how you mount it, it could slide out, giving you better distance from the swung-down monitor instead of sitting up under it like they do now.

You've been watching Matt for a while too, Eh?. It's the, "...and this cat." that make it hilarious.

He just needs a wireless mouse and keyboard ALSO Razer has a wireless mouse that doesn't need charging it comes included with a mouse mat and as long as the mouse is on the mat or only off the mat for a few seconds it will work so he could thin out the aluminium where he would want to place the mouse mat to make the distance between the mat and the mouse as close as possible so it can keep the mouse powered up and then when not using the peripherals stowaway them in a nearby cupboard or drawer or place it on the shelf

The only thing that would make it better, have the monitor lowered and raised by actuators.
I was thinking the same. And some electromagnet for extra security. Put an rasbery pi to process when it goes on and off. Maybe jump the power cable to always give the active signal or a way to manually activate. I'd rather have a manual deactivation instead of the pc going off. Maybe put a timer like 15 min off it hides the monitor. After all the manual labor doubt it would sink too much time on it
