Whatever cooling holes you make, consider ducting them into your PC case so that the components are sipping on ambient air and efficiently exhausting the heat. If your components are going to be built directly into the desk with no case then make sure they’re not making contact with any conductive surfaces and consider larger diameter fans so you can move enough air without making a ton of noise.






Given the extra amount of volume in your PC’s enclosure, I would love to see a couple 200mm fans for intake and exhaust. Just in general, a smaller number of larger fans will move more air at lower RPMs, so that’s just what would make sense to me if I was building my own ad hoc PC case with larger than usual dimensions.
