So, I was looking around for a new desk to replace my crappy RTA desk that I got from Best Buy, but I wasn't finding anything that I like. I wanted a place for my computer obviously, but I also wanted something with a little deskspace for writing, etc. Wanted to get the Jerker from Ikea, but the nearest Ikea is 205 miles away in the suburbs of Chicago. No big deal, I figured I'd pay $40-50 to get it shipped to my house, but boy was I shocked when Ikea quoted me $290 to ship the desk to my house (the desk costs $130, btw). So, I built my own. I designed it in SketchUp, built it in about a week working a couple hours after work each day.
Sorry for the crappy pics. It's sitting in my basement until I move to my apartment in two weeks. It's flat black, the round dowels in the legs are silver metallic. It will hold a Viewsonic VX2025wm 20.1" monitor with a cantilever mount. Just got the monitor today but it's not in the pics.
It's not perfect but it came out better than I expected. I wish I had positioned the hutch part a little farther forward to make it more stable, but it's not a huge deal.
