There are tons of choices for gaming desks these days. Some of the name brand ones that include embedded LED’s like mine can be very expensive. In this video I give you the links and details to build your own LED gaming desk with parts from IKEA for less than $140 for all the parts. The IKEA desktop is super easy to cut, even without a table saw you could make the cuts with a circular saw if you are careful. The aluminum channel used for embedding the LED’s worked perfectly for the look I was going for. It provides a great heat sink for the LED strips as well as matching the top perfectly with the satin black finish. You could easily choose different sized parts at IKEA and personalize a desk to fit just about any office or bedroom space to make the ultimate gaming setup. Fortnite and Call of Duty will never have looked better!

Visit the links below for all the parts used. The Amazon links help support my channel with a very small kickback so I really appreciate you using those even if you dont buy the LED’s or aluminum channel.
