Can I put my PC in the Alex Storage Unit ?

I want to make an Alex desk with the cabinet on the right to hide my PC and all the cables.

I will obviously cut the cabinet on the spots where the fans are (on the right and back) and 3D print vents. But overall is this ok ? I've never seen here

Brown walnut effect

Is It possibile there isn't any desk for my studio with the same color of the kallax brown walnut effect?

I saw the mittzon desks, It seems a different color.

I saw the SKÅLSTA table top but Is 80cm depth, i Need 60cm maximum.

I want to move my pc

So, I’m thinking of getting this mount to hold just my Saljan tabletop—do you guys think it’s reliable? I want to tidy up my desk a bit since I’m getting another monitor, so I was thinking of moving the PC; what do you think? Does anyone here use this kind of mount? I’ve seen some users put their PC inside the Alex unit, but I’d rather avoid that since I keep a lot of stuff in there, what about the sag? Sorry, i don’t have a lot of photos rn of my setup.

Smaller version of Fredde (looking for instructions)

Hey everyone, so I bought a 'fredde' off someone on facebook marketplace but its not the usual doubke decker fredde that is found online. Its shorter but very similar pieces, Im desperately looking for instructions for it as the seller has no idea. I've attached the photo of what it looks like. Thanks im advance for any help!

Update on the build so far.

Two Alex cabinets are built, got a little feisty with two drawer fronts and have some paint chipping so will need to see if the local IKEA has some spare parts, but overall love the way the cabinets turned out. Desk top is 72”x96” used two sheets of 3/4” birch ply sandwiched together and glued, then ran some iron on edge banding. Routed in some dimmable LED’s. Top needs a quick final sand before staining. Getting close to being done. I see a lot of people having issues with desk tops and needing something beefier, highly recommend going this route if you have some very basic tools and a bit of knowledge.
