DeskNode // System Control Interface v1.0 DeskNode is a modular, desk-integrated system interface designed to merge industrial hardware design with digital control precision. It's not just a front panel -- it's the command center of your machine. Machined to fit flush into a corner cutout of the desk, DeskNode centralizes all essential I/O and control features into a clean, tactile layout: Power and Reset switches, connected directly to the motherboard via extension lines. Power and HDD status LEDs -- hardware-level indicators with that old-school diagnostic vibe. Four USB 3.0 ports, front-mounted through internal extensions for fast peripheral access. Analog-style volume controls for instant audio adjustment. A 3-way toggle selector for multi-OS boot control -- because one system is never enough. At its core, a Raspberry Pi Pico handles all logic, boot management, and media control. Acting as the digital cortex of the interface.
