I recently built a new desk and it is awesomely functional, but it doesn't accommodate a lot of other larger equipment like network storage devises, routers, my audio mixing panels, and books. It was always my plan to build a bookcase under the huge window in the office and it's finally time to tackle it! I started this build in Fusion 360 to model out specific dimensions and to help make sure that I don't mess up sizes or forget dado cuts. This is a very basic design and modeling may not have been necessary, but it was a way to ensure that I accounted for the special sizes of the audio racks and to determine how much plywood I would need so I didn't have to make multiple trips to the store. I broke down a sheet of 3/4 inch birch plywood cutting all of the pieces to the same size without moving the table saw fence (or measuring carefully when using a circular saw) to ensure that each piece was the exact same depth. I used my dado stack to cut slots in the top, bottom, and sides to connect the casework. A bookcase this long needs to have vertical supports to prevent sagging
