It won't destroy the earth, but it destroys the status quo for desk mods.

James is stuck in an endless loop, playing the Dark Souls games on repeat until Elden Ring and Silksong set him free. He's a truffle pig for indie horror and weird FPS games too, seeking out games that actively hurt to play. Otherwise he's wandering Austin, identifying mushrooms and doodling grackles. 

If you arrange the text from every Build of the Week in a grid, the first column predicted the arrival of the desk over a century ago, back when case mods were made of sticks and mud and powered by mules. ARMAGEDDON, THE SUM OF ALL FEARS—the capitalization is canon— is a massive build with duals monitors that rise at the push of a button, like some behemoth emerging from the underworld to raze the world with fire. The main difference is Armageddon coats the world in chunky industrial aesthetics and good graphics. The horror.

Armageddon comes from Ali Abbas, an acclaimed modder out of Germany. Started in 2012, Abbas finished up 20 projects in the time it took to complete Armageddon. As his first foray into desk mods, Abbas didn’t want to put out another “glass top, LED lit, hardware visual” build that most popular desk builds go for. Instead, he opted for hellfire and brimstone—and some pretty cool features. Turns out, The End of All Things comes with built-in speakers, a concealable keyboard, a webcam, hidden USB hubs, and those lovely rising monitors.

To see more of Abbas’ projects or for more information on Armageddon, check out his website and the official build log.

Armageddon components: 

I couldn’t find the specs listed anywhere, so I gathered what I could from the build log. I’m reaching out to Abbas for clarification. 

  • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 480
  • Mobo: Maximus VII Ranger
  • CPU: Intel i7 (spec unknown)
  • SSD: OCZ Vector 180 480 GB
