Corsair has announced that the Platform:6 will be available from the Corsair webstore and its worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors in Q4 2023. The Platform:6 is a modular, expandable, and feature-rich computer desk that counts adjustable height, plentiful cable management, and a modular rail with compatibility with hundreds of aftermarket attachments and accessories among its features.
With decades of experience in creating the high-performance desktop and streaming gear that their customers use on their desks every day, CORSAIR and its subsidiary Elgato are uniquely positioned to understand and provide exactly what those customers need in a gaming and work space. Combining premium materials, a high degree of customization, and a multitude of quality-of-life features such as adjustable height and plentiful cable management, the Platform:6 sets the highest standard for an expandable, feature-rich computer desk.
The Platform:6 supports today’s many diverse lifestyles, from the hardcore PC gamer to the remote worker in need of an organized workspace in the home. A six-foot wide surface area, which can be expanded even further, provides ample space for high-end PCs, full streaming setups, and an array of accessories. With multiple configurations offering a wide selection of features such as motorized adjustable height, choice of surface material, and an expandable rail system, customers will be able to design the perfect Platform:6 using CORSAIR’s online configurator to fit their needs and their space, or choose from several predefined bundles for the best value.
Designed thoughtfully with an eye toward future expansion, the Platform:6 grows and adapts with its user. A modular rail system utilizing a universal standard aluminum T-channel crossbar, side rails, and top-mounted rail is built into every Platform:6, offering compatibility with hundreds of aftermarket attachments and accessories. Furthermore, CORSAIR has embraced the endless creativity of its many customers by providing flexible mounting methods for their own 3D printed accessories, enabling unparalleled personalization.
Those who opt for adjustable height can take advantage of a Platform: 6 desk variant with dual electric motors to quickly and quietly move the desk surface to their desired position using an LCD readout controller with push-button adjustment and memory presets. The surface itself is available in your choice of classic dark walnut-stained environmentally friendly rubberwood or sturdy black laminate.
Every Platform:6 is loaded with a plethora of standard features to improve your quality of life. Included dual monitor arms are ready for a dual-monitor setup out of the box, while an oversized CORSAIR RapidRoute wire management tray keeps cables concealed in a space large enough to accommodate power strips as well. Even more wire management and small item storage comes in the form of an in-desk storage cubby with USB Type-A and Type-C charging ports, resulting in an uncluttered space that accommodates the complexity of high-powered gaming or professional setups while still looking great.
Expandability is the key concept that drove the design of the Platform:6, with an assortment of add-ons offering huge potential for any person to create their ideal desk. If the six-foot wide surface isn’t enough space, side extensions can be installed to either side of the desk for an extra 30cm x 70cm, with optional hanging pegboards. The Elgato Multi Frame top-mounted pegboard exclusive to the Platform:6 offers even more mounting locations to organize your gear and accessories, with adapters for Elgato Multi-Mount and Flex Arm products to mount Key Lights, cameras, or microphones directly to the rail system.
The Elgato Multi Frame expansion is included with the flagship Platform:6 Creator Edition, also featuring adjustable height and a rubberwood surface. Custom configurations can be designed and purchased using the online configurator when the Platform:6 officially launches. To see how the unique features and design philosophy of the Platform:6 can elevate your workspace to a higher standard, keep an eye out for the official launch later this year.

Not quite as sexy but quite a bit less expensive I'd imagine.
Three monitors or GTFO.
If it were that top option I'd be interested maybe the fact you have to buy every little addon... meh..
Their own tool kit now this? Slow down there Corsair.
I'm not going to lie, I kind of like it but the price will be the deciding factor. I really don't need it, right now, but I've never been completely satisfied with the hybrid setups I've done in the cave. If I could stably mount the CRG9 on it that could be a deciding factor as I am planning some kind of change in the new year, but again, it all comes down to the cost(s).
I'm waiting on a deep corner (L shaped) desk with these features. As a PC gamer and IT worker I have 3 monitors across 2 systems in my home office and having something to meet that need would be nice. Haven't seen one yet. Probably will be crazy expensive when I finally do.
That's really what I need. For me it wouldn't be 3 displays exactly but the CRG9 which is basically two for desk gaming/work and then the Sony 65" Z9D for home theater/gaming.
Did some googling... I want but not at that price point:

Yep, pretty and expensive. I like how this Corsaird Platform incorporates some workbench concepts though as I my goal it get rid of the old tower-stereo cabinet I have in the cave that houses my printer with the rig (HAF X) on top along with a speaker and plethora of IT tools/misc stuff. So unfortunately even a basic L-shape wouldn't work. The sad thing is that if I do commit $1K or more is probably going to be the only way. It's a low priority but still a nice dream.
A few years ago, after some discussion about 10k desks, I went to the local hardwood furniture store.
I bought a nice desk set. Covers 3 of 4 walls in my room with plenty of cabinets, drawers, and stuff. It isn't a standing desk, but it's hardwood, no particle board anywhere, and easily survived a move no problem.
Now, it doesn't have any built-in computer stuff other than keyboard trays, but the next computer I build I want to put into a hardwood box and stain it to match and mount it underneath or over top one of the desks and make it all blend in. The nice part about wood - it's fairly easy to work with.
It didn't cost me 10k, but today it might due to inflation and such.
