Dunno if this is the best section to post in but since there were some past threads about desks here I figure it’s as good as any.

Anyways, could someone recommend a nice, preferably a spacious glass desk that has some style to it as well as functionality and room for lots a gadgets i.e. monitors, larger than standard keyboard, graphics tablet, speaker setup, charging bases, printer, scanner. I am also planning on having a triple monitor setup similar to spacecadet's setup (seen in this post: http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1029332270&postcount=2943 ) All of the glass corner desks I’ve seen feel too "raw" & cold for lack of a better description: two planes of glass on a metal stand. I found an interesting setup on a pic TFT Central http://dwuk.net/baddass/tft_central/userpics/mr_lattes_setup.JPG but can't seem to find the manufacturer of that desk - its a bit small but a much more stylish approach.
For the actual case, it’s going to be custom built by me and be somewhat bigger than a Mountainmod cube so it needs some space as well and the little cabinets or cpu holders present in some desks won't do.

However, if nothing suitable can be found I am considering building my own desk so suitable pointers would be appreciated as well.
 
If you want to BYO Desk, the Wood Technology has some real nice legs in different size and finishes. Plus hinges, turntables and lots of other stuff. Download the PDF catalog check it out.

There's also Table Legs Online.

For some really radical designs, got to Biomorph. Not glass, but you can get some ideas.
 
Well, I can't say offhand where to get a glass one, but the type of desk that is in that picture that you like is commonly used for nonlinear editing workstations (professional video editing). I found some at B & H by a company by the name of Winsted. (see more from them here). I know that there are more manufacturers and styles in that market similar to what you are looking for, but you'd probably be better off asking someone who does pro video for a living what else is out there. Kind of a specialized market, but they are out there and there are some pretty cool ones out there. Just gotta find them.

Hope that helps get you started in the right direction.
