Would like the desk to be more rounded with built-in arm support :) for the moments that involve heavy leaning-in.

I tend to agree, but my current desk is a disposable ikea desk. So it would be a huge upgrade, plus a hard edge doesnt bug me that much. I think im gona get it :)

My first impression of the desk is just, why? Cable clutter is still there, you just have extentions running through the desk to your computer (wouldn't want that with my sound setup for example, just attempting to put the sound through my keyboard messes it up pretty badly) and personally, the Ikea desk that I got is way more of a gamers' paradise considering I've got my Xbox 360 and my PS3 here aswell as a three external HDD's coupled with my Center speaker, Receiver and then got my two floor speakers right next to it :)

While it is nice to know that someone is atleast attempting to fix up a good gaming desk I believe the only ones good enough to be called a gamers' paradise are the ones that you can tailor to your specific needs and sometimes that includes designing and/or building your own from scratch or simply modifying an existing model to suit your dreams of a "paradise".

Sadly I doubt this'll get funded enough to take off but I wish them luck if it does, an interesting concept atleast and they did bring something new to the table ;)

Ditto. My 2nd thought was "shit I don't want to get electrocuted by this dumb design if I spill a drink." The plugs are slightly raised but not by much, there's a very high chance of them getting wet at some point in time if you ever drink at your desk.

Well sure but the price is slightly different. Also, do they still actually make the Lian Li desks?
