    I've moved and the plans for creating this desk have shifted slightly. The ceilings are taller in the new office but it's a smaller room. So I need to create a desk where two people can sit and work at the same time. The obvious thing to do is just to duplicate it and have the shelves in the middle. but I'm open to new designs

    Here's a walkthrough of the design so far:

    Open questions that need to be addressed:

    - Move ridge on upper shelf to go up? Remove ridge?
    - Check if 82" is too tall
    - Add top rail
    - Reduce width, recommended max span for 3/4" plywood is 30" (add steel angle rod to back?). Need some sort of support mechanism
    - Figure out how shelves will rotate? Maybe they don't rotate? Lazy susan bearing as possible option
    - Check what internal diameter of Susan bearing will be needed
    - Expand PC case to 24" deep (match Ellen's desk) and 4" tall? Or keep it 3.75"
    - How to stop table from rotating?-
    - How to add supports for weight of shelves? Need some sort of steel bar?
    - Estimated TDP is around 485W (ADL Intel cpu and 3070 GPU), how are we going to get rid of the heat
