The hack is a combination of a workspace and a build in computer case in the Alex base units.

    Looks awesome, and we’d be totally interested in getting our own version. But I was wondering about the heat your computer generates? I have a moderately powerful PC which I use for gaming, and I am a bit worried that putting a computer in a nearly closed wooden space might cause overheating problems.

    What is your experience with this? Do you run into any problems after intensive (graphical application) computer use? Thanks!

      I didn’t got any problems concerning overheating of my CPU or GPU. I’m using this PC build for gaming. Maybe you have a look at my blog post, there are some further pictures on ho to establish and keep a constant air flow.

    Awesome hack. At the moment I have a large desk build from a ALEX drawer, a VIKA MOLIDEN leg and a NUMERÄR kitchen countertop (2,45 meters). I really hate my tower under the desk, so I was thinking about buying the ALEX storage unit and hide it in there. But this might lead to heating problems, so your hack is a way better idea to hide the PC. Think I will build something similar.

    What I’d really like to see is the backside of your ALEX unit. Where exactly did you place the fan. And how do you cool the upper area where your power supply and hard drives are placed?
