IKEA DESK HACK HEMNES | Rolling/Casters, Hidden Power/USB Charging, LED Lights, Temperature Controlled Fans/Ventilation

Full write-up can be found on my blog: www.fpawesome.com

This DIY Ikea Desk Hack uses the Hemnes Desk. Hacks completed include:
casters to turn it into a rolling desk
hidden power and USB charging
LED lights
fans inside the cabinet for ventilation (e.g. for external GPU or PC)
Monitor mount

I needed a new desk, but my number one requirement was the ability to put it on casters so that I could easily move it around when I needed to. The room is multi-purpose, so I might be using it for filming, working out, actually working, etc. so I wanted to make sure I could configure the space how I wanted. Then I wanted options to charge my devices. Then I wanted some lights. Then I wanted some fans in the cabinet to make sure the external GPU I put in there doesn't overheat.
