CORSAIR Launches Flagship Platform:6 Modular Computer Desk

[btarunr]

CORSAIR, a world leader in high-performance gear and systems for gamers, content creators, and PC enthusiasts, today released the Platform:6 Modular Computer Desk. Building upon decades of experience delivering industry-leading gear, CORSAIR is once again setting a new benchmark with the Platform:6. In collaboration with the experts at Elgato, one of the most trusted names in streaming and content creation, CORSAIR has created a desk that meets the wide-ranging and ever-changing needs of gamers, creators, and professionals everywhere.

The Platform:6 is a testament to CORSAIR's commitment to excellence, delivering a combination of premium materials, exceptional craftsmanship, a wide range of customization, and quality-of-life features. More than just a workspace, the Platform:6 is a canvas for expressing your individuality.



Three pre-configured models of Platform:6 are available direct from the CORSAIR webstore and worldwide network of retailers, but CORSAIR has also created an online configurator with a bevy of options so that anyone can create the perfect setup for their needs. The Platform:6 can come in either fixed or adjustable height, with the latter powered by dual electric motors using an LED controller with two memory presets. The surface is available in your choice of sturdy black laminate or the elegant look of dark walnut-stained rubberwood. Optional desk extensions can increase the Platform:6's already impressive surface area by 33%, and come with side pegboards for even more organization.

Keeping an organized, aesthetically pleasing desktop can be a challenging task for anyone these days, and the Platform:6 was crafted to meet that challenge head-on. A six-foot wide surface offers the space to comfortably fit a PC and peripherals, while a built-in CORSAIR RapidRoute wire management tray, cable routing accessories, and in-desk storage cubby keep everything else out of sight for an easy camera-ready setup. Included movable power strips with USB Type-A and Type-C charging come ready for all your devices both big and small.

The modular rail system at the back of the desk is ideal for mounting meeting or streaming gear such as cameras, lights, and microphones, and utilizes a universal standard aluminium T-Channel crossbar for compatibility with hundreds of aftermarket attachments and accessories. Because multi-monitor setups are so commonplace nowadays, every Platform:6 features dual monitor arms as a standard inclusion, attaching to the rail for mounting up to two 32" monitors (or a single ultrawide 34").

The optional Elgato Multi Frame is a streamer's dream, attaching to the base rail system to more than double your rail space and provide even more mounting options. Integrated adapters for Elgato Master Mount and Flex Arm (sold separately) make it fast and easy to position streaming gear just about anywhere on or above the Platform:6, while pegboards and side shelves offer plenty of space to hang and display accessories or swag. Elgato Multi Frame is included in the pre-configured Platform:6 Creator Edition, or can be selected as an add-on through the configurator.

"The Platform:6 is a reflection of CORSAIR's commitment to meeting the needs of our customers from all walks of life," said George Makris, Director of Home Tech Product Marketing at CORSAIR. "Working tirelessly alongside our colleagues at Elgato, we've put together a desk that raises the bar for quality, versatility, and innovation while exceeding all expectations."

The standard desk is over £1K in price, and that's before add-ons. For comparison I got a similarly specced standing desk from a no-name company for £210 and it is decent quality.

Heavy 'gamer' tax on this one...

I can even make a similar one with IKEA crap parts and (maybe) Amazon Basics item and still cost me less than this garbage.

I can buy a separate motorized, adjustable base and a butcher-block style top from hardware store and put together my own custom finish desk with just as much surface area (or significantly more) for less than $400. I can add some quality monitor mounts and still be well under $500. These Corsair price points are ludicrous.

My current PC table is made from Teakwood with following dimensions- 60" Wide x 36" deep x 30" tall and that didnt cost me as much as this overpriced particle board nonsense does.

Price withstand,....still a nice bit of kit IMO.

Corsair's "boutique gamer" shit never fail to make Asus's Rog stuff sound like a rational proposition.

Finally someone else who understands the importance of depth, especially in a world of 27" and 32" monitors. Proper viewing distance is important!

48" from 75cm perfectly fine too, I don't need to see the wall at all.

Cool desk. Not sure if I’d call it enterprise galaxy class “flagship” though.

 

[Firedrops]

I like how the execs at corsair are so out of touch that they think it's a common thing to spend ~$2000 USD on a desk.

It was an old dining table I had modified(polished, added shelves and platform underneath for PC) that how I ended up with seriously deep table which I dont mind and it works really well with 2x 24" monitor setup. Also since its made from teak, I didnt want to sell it or throw it away.

 

[Fungi]

The monitor rails and the power strip are pretty cool. Not thousands of dollars cool though...

When people are spending $400-$700 for a gaming chair is corsair really that out of touch?

Explains PC industry for me in general, watched a video recently where the monitor guy was telling the HUB channel owner $900 is not an ok price to get 16 gigs of VRAM, whilst the owner who seems to have a "too good" relationship with the vendors was trying to defend the pricing model.

Of course might be playing bad cop, good cop for the viewers.

All of what we seeing as the products keep selling and the media are not challenging the prices.

Also whats the deal with the tiny low res pic's, at that price surely they can put up bigger pictures.

 

[Predictable]

And it doesn't even have a triple monitor mount available?
