The DIY, Hidden-Peripherals Standing Workspace

The DIY, Hidden-Peripherals Standing Workspace


We've shared a number of DIY standing workspaces, but Flickr user Evenprimes put together a desk with a hidden compartment for all his peripherals—so they're hidden away out of sight.


The desk itself is made from pipe and pipe fittings from Simplified Building Concepts, with the rest built out of wood. The cabinets under the monitor stand house laptops, UPSs, cables, external hard drives, and a lot more. Each compartment has a fan in the back to promote airflow, along with some runners along the bottom to keep air flowing under the devices. There's even a switch on the front to turn the fans on and off.

The above photos are an early prototype, but Evenprimes is already working on improving the design (including mounting the monitors above the peripherals compartment). You can check out more of the workspace at Evenprimes' Flickr feed below.


If you have a workspace of your own to show off, share them with us by adding it to our Lifehacker Workspace Show and Tell Flickr pool. Make sure any photos you include are at least 640x360. Keeping them to 16:9 helps, too! Include a little text about the stuff you used, how you came up with the design, and any other relevant details. If your clever organization and good design sense catches our eye, you might be the next featured workspace.
