A good desk?

[Pr0Hawk]

I am buying some new furniture for my room and the first thing on my list is a new desk. I have a 19 inch montitor and a 5.1 system, so I need a desk that can fit all that. My room isnt that big, so I need something decently sized. Anyone know any good sites for desks? thx 🙂

Try to find some free wood and build one like I did. I even built a bookshelf that sits on top on the desk. They are not pretty but very functional. Total cost for the desk and bookshelf = $8. I bought an 8x10 that I cut and made two shelves for the bookcase.

Sorry no pics. If someone wants to give me a digital camera I would be more than willing to post some pics.

haha, I shouldnt try to build anything. It will end up like Homer's inventions 😉

Take it from someone who has sold furniture for 3 years - measure the exact space your desk will go in. Measure length & width needs for your desk. Then head over to an Office Depot/Max or Staples or some other furniture place and test out a couple ones that grab your eye in functionality. (Make sure you bring a tape measure) Website wise, you could check out OD/OM/ST's respective websites but that's about all I can think of.

That's the desk I'm using, works fine with a 21" monitor.

I didn't bother installing the monitor platform or the keyboard sliding thing since I have lots of room in front of the monitor for the keyboard and mouse pad, and the monitor fits snugly between the two cubby things.

anything oak by Sauder should suffice 🙂

I have a big ass metal office desk and love it. Its a huge pain to move but its sturdy as hell, roomy, cheap, and you can paint it any color you like. I see them in trade papers from $10 up to $100 all the time. I got mine for free because somebody just left it on the back porch of the house I was renting. Did a little sanding and used two cans of black paint and now I have a really nice desk.

Try this one it's $79.94 at Staples but I suggest you check your measurements and take a look at it first.. either way when I took a look at it it looked pretty well built and that door for the computer is nice to cut down on noise.. I would buy it but my case and monitor (21") are too deep to fit it..
