Hey guys, I'm out there looking for a decently priced (under $200) L shaped PC desk that can take 2 machines, 2 sitting and won't creak under a 19" + 17" CRT. Preferrably wood, and with some cabinets to hide things in. I'm staring at a Office Depot 10% off ad on their "No Tools" desk but I'm not finding anything that fits the bill. Thanks!
 
I too have a desk dilemma. I don't have the budget limit but I'm curious to know if anyone here just loves their desk (since it is an integral part of their setup). If you love your desk, do tell me what it is!
 
+1 on the OP and reply....same dilemma

the jerker looks good....but something L shaped would rock!
 
I am also looking for some suggestions as I am not finding anything looking at sites like Office Depot. All the desks want you to put a computer near the ground or in a cabinet. I also was hoping for small drawers and a large keyboard tray.
 
Nice list shmitty! :)

The office-depot website sux. The staples website is a bit better and I may have found one interesting glass/metal one that the OP might like.

Here's the linky:
Staples Z-line metal/glass desk

edit:...oops...i just noticed OP wanted wood desk :( Perhaps check out the wood 'Bush' desks at Staples website...looked good and not expensive.
 
Hmm, I like that staples one from the above poster, but my main worry is that a glass desk will crack under the weight of a CRT? I'm running Link and another 17" similar to my 19". Think glass would be able to take the weight?

Here's mine. Looks like it might be Canada only though as I didn't see it on the US site.

I love this thing, especially the extra wide keyboard tray. My only gripe is that the monitor section isn't wide enough to accomodate my 21in widescreen. The base only slides in about 3/4 of the way in before the monitor hits the side panels. Not a huge deal to me but I could see some people not likeing it at all. Plus it pretty much takes flipping the monitor into portrait mode out of the question as well, which again for me isn't a deal breaker.

Clear 8-mm tempered glass for safety with nonscratch, nonstain surface

No. That glass looks as thick as my dad's TV stand's, and it has a 41" Sony LCD TV on it.
 
Did you build that table just piecing together those Ikea legs and 2 table tops? Nice job :cool:
 
Mainly so my wife can be on one and me on the other without getting in each others way too much.
 
Yes, it was built out of those ikea parts listed in the other thread. Yes, it was under $100.

I, personally (not sure about the OP), need an L-shaped desk for the arm support.
