I've been really looking into getting a new desk and found the perfect one for my needs... It came in yesterday. I got a Husky 8 Foot Workbench. Thing is sturdy! 

 
I finally finished up my "spare parts" build. I really like how it ended up... Here are the system specs:
Motherboard: MSI MEG Z390 ACE
CPU: i7 9700K with EKWB Velocity (Copper/Acetol)
Power Supply: EVGA P2 1000
RAM: G.Skill 4X8GB 4266MHz CL17
Video Card: RX 5700XT 50th Anniversary Edition with EK-Quantum Vector Radeon RX 5700 +XT D-RGB - Nickel + Acetal
Hard Drive: Crucial MX100 512GB
Case: Anidees Crystal Cube
Radiators: EKWB CE 280 and EKWB SE 240
Pump/Reservoir: EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 PWM (incl. pump)
Fittings: EK-Torque STC-10/16 - Black Nickel (10 in total)
Water Tubing: EK-DuraClear 9,5 mm (3/8") / 15,9 mm (5/8")
Case Fans: 5 Anidees RGB fans, 2 Noctua Redux 140mm and 1 Noctua Redux 120mm


 
 
Here's more on the build when I was starting to put it together:










 
 
 
I acquired the water pump, tubing, new video card and waterblock for it a few weeks later... here's the waterblock install for the new RX 5700XT 50th Anniversary Edition.







 
 
 
 
So... It wouldn't boot after, something went wrong during the waterblock install and it didn't work. Luckily I was able to get a replacement. Here are some pics from the 2nd run:










 
 
Now with it all put together... a few close-up shots of the case open and closed.

    Nice build. Only one comment. You really need to clean up the mess behind the motherboard. The rest looks so good, but that shot looks out of place. Not sure how, as I am unfamiliar with the case and it’s space. Looks nice when running. Great use of “spare parts”.

    Great looking set-up, and also a really nice looking "spare" rig! Husky makes some decent products. I have one of their garage shelf systems, it's nice and sturdy also. Nice pictures of all of it.

    The build is nice but I have to say the idea of looking at a workbench to use as a computer table makes a lot of sense and it's built to last through a lot of abuse.

    Thanks! Yeah... I didn't really post a picture of the back with the cover on it. I will try to update it later. Yeah, the cable management is as good as i'm going to get it for now... Don't want to zip tie everything down and make it hard to change things. Trying to keep the modular part intact.

    Thanks man... I kinda feel bad for having a second rig. But it's nice to have something as a back-up and i'll probably use it for private LAN's... not sure any big LAN's will be going here in the near future...

    I really like the stability, the monitors don't move at all. It's rated for 3000LB and when putting it together, it's clear they designed it to actually take that much stress. They even added cuts in the bottom half to allow flex in the wood so the steel support beams can hold it together.
