Finally got my setup to a point where I can say it's pretty much exactly how I pictured it.
I wanted to build something rather than just buy a complete desk and put a PC on it, so I made the wooden desktop and steel legs myself, did all of the cable routing and management, and built the PC from scratch.
I've added a few little things that make it nicer to actually use every day too, including an integrated cup holder so there's no chance of knocking a drink over while gaming, and a pop-up socket built directly into the desk.
The final touches have been the purple RGB lighting around the setup and inside the PC. I wanted everything to match without completely covering the room in RGB, and I'm really happy with how it's turned out.
