A Custom Table Top With Circuit Boards Sealed In Resin Is The Geekiest Table Top Ever

Transparent gadgets are super geeky and so are skins that make your phone look like it is transparent. But you know what’s geekier? A desk with a bunch of printed circuit boards sealed in transparent resin such as this custom desk made by YouTuber buildxyz.

Custom Desk With Circuit Boards in Resin

This one-of-a-kind table top is handcrafted from baltic birch plywood and walnut and features a recess that would be the “graveyard” of some printed circuit boards (PCBs) from various electronics, including Nintendo Entertainment System (ouch!).

Alongside the “dead” electronics is a working Apple MagSafe wireless charger and peripheral mood lighting which can be adjusted. There is even a wooden coaster embedded in it. Save for the exposed wood surface that serves as a coaster, the rest of the electronics, dead and alive, are permanently sealed in a clear resin.

The LED light has a timer that is set to turn on and off so buildxyz when to take a break or get off work without looking at the clock. And yes, the LED strip light appears to be sealed in which means if it is dead, it is dead. I don’t believe you can switch out the dead LED strip light in such a scenario.

Anyhoo, completing the setup is an under-desk computer shelf, a drawer, and a cable management system, and it is affixed to a Progressive Desk solo riser desk frame. Very cool build. Skip ahead for the build video.
