I live alone in a quaint 1bd1ba, never get visitors and just eat at my desk/coffee table so I turned the dining room into a little office. My current furniture set is particle board slab shit I got for free from a closing business over a decade ago. I really like its basic design, but it's a bit too damaged and stained for now and I really want to try a built-in enclosure for my next PC upgrade. The planned corner set wouldn't be flush against the walls, so airflow shouldn't be an issue. My question is, is the built-in enclosure a shit idea even if I don't mind squeezing under the desk to install and dust it? Should I just do a shelf with ample space for an ATX case? I know DIY Perks did something similar with some gay floating desk, but I hate the horizontal entire-desktop-as-a-case design.

Suggestions for my incomplete dogshit design welcome.

If I'm understanding your project and preferences correctly my inclination would be to put server rails in your "enclosure space," install a rackmount PC case, and then have options for easily bolting up whatever else you think needs to go there. If you're worried about dust you could figure out some kind of air filter.

Use a mini PC or laptop.
