Awesome. Well done. I recall there was another similar desk rig (not wood) with glass top a few years ago here. That was incredible too.

Awesome rig!
BLEH!
Very nice, reminds me of L3Pdesk.
Undying
Cheers! Amazing indeed. :P

Or you can use cheapo materials and be creative, you'll have the very same chances of winning. But somehow complaining is easier then actually building something eh ?

Great looking build! Clean design, eyecandy for sure, specs are last thing I was interested about when I was looking/reading this article, but in this case monster(s) inside this table is nice bonus. As time passes I'm more into this to make myself something similar, atm I'm harvesting ideas from projects like this, maybe next year...

No I am not gruffy, but you make a bold claim there as if the guy won because he spends cash on it. I find remarks like that a bit insulting to the guys that enter the competition.
Now, the components used (pricing wise) have absolutely no say in this. Both June and July had like a GeForce GTX 670 in their rigs, not exactly Titans ? In fact similar cards that you have in your system. But fact is, people that build a special rig tend to build something extraordinary and thus tend to use better and more expensive components as well, these builds need to last them years. So these guys are creative and spends heaps of time to build something special, maybe even work a year on a build spending their hard earned cash, and within a couple of words you claim you can win as along as you can spend enough cash. I find these remarks somewhat insulting to the modders that spend time & money on these incredibly difficult builds, hence my reply directed to you that way.
You are free to enter the competition, and with a creative idea you have as much chance of winning, even with your Gigabyte GTX 670 SLI 2GB setup.

Best looking pc system ever!

Guys above doesn't have a monster GPU's in their rig but still they won the RotM competition here on Guru3D. It's not about how much money you've burned into something like this, it's all about being creative + how much time, knowledge, sweat, tears, hair pulled from a head, blood (few litres at least in my case for all these years, not to mention still visible numerous cuts and burns on my hands and fingers from bending, cutting and welding work with bare metal), work until late hours, wife complainings, hours spend doing this and not spending that time with kids/wife/friends... etc you've "integrated" into something like this. As a old school modder I find a bit insulting your thoughts that you can easiliy win a RotM competition if you spend 10.000$ on latest state of the art hardware. Try to build from the scratch something creative under 500$, send it here for RotM and I'm sure no one will complain about outdated hardware inside...

Nice Rig,
I like the name The baby grand.
It kind of looks like one of them baby grand pianos.

Very nice workmanship indeed. 🙂
I converted an old wooden tv cabinet into a space for 3 bit-mining rigs, but it was a total hack job and looked less then 0.01% as nice as this masterpiece.

Great craftsmenship.. very nice job.
I would love to do something like this but yknow.. lazy.

That is simply, beautiful. Love the design.

Really love this one - I like how it's been built into the desk, looks great, and also that good components have been used too; I especially liked how the 3DMark Firestrike results says "better than 99% of results" - I'd like to see that on my system! (At the moment I have to put up with "better than 45% of results" - ah, woe is me!)

A very nice piece of craftsmanship, and for me, the best rig of the month since I'm reading guru3d.com.
I've always thought such a rig to be the best, implemented in it's surroundings! If only you'd make one in white, with just a gaming rig inside, and probably for less then the price of a kidney and half my lung, I'd order one from you guys 😀
Besides, having a carpenter as a buddy is always handy with stuff like that. Only, how can one get a custom base for the mainboards? Not sure what that's supposed to mean...

Storage is cheap and media is getting larger and larger. My 80 minute HD camcorder recordings are 61GB each when I initially extract them - and I keep them. I have 37TB at home and I'm running out of space... just bought another RAID controller from someone here on the forums and I plan to add another 12 drives to my array. If it's a file server it probably hosts audio and video for all the other devices in the house so you'll want as much storage as you can get.
As far as CPU - if you have to do any real-time transcoding because one or more of your devices doesn't support all the codecs for all your media then those extra cycles become necessary. My fileserver runs my plex media server which is accessible by all devices and TVs in my home as well as our mobile devices when we're out and about. Depending on the devices my server will have to decide if it needs to do any transcoding or not.

True - but most fileservers and even NAS devices perform some other simple services as well.
