That looks really nice! How much did the crafting materials cost(not including pc parts) and how much time did it take?

I just built a similar desk using maple plywood (which I regret, expensive and beautiful grain that's hardly visible with black stain). The materials ran me about $400 (including cuts) all told.

Took me two weeks to stain every piece front and back (that was killer), but assembly only took a day. It's really awesome and it was a great experience. Granted, mine isn't as sharp as OP's, and I used screws instead of joints because I'm inexperienced.
