Staples? Best Buy? CompUSA? Just llok around? Doesn't even have to necessarily have to be a computer store either. I suggest you just go to home depot, get some supplies, and build one. Than you get exactly what you want.

I use a Kitchen Table and it works great with or without the Leaf...many can be found cheap @ thrift stores.

2x4's and a 4x8' sheet of 3/4" cabinet-grade plywood will build you the strongest table ever.

You can even stain it and make it look halfway decent.

NateX ...I have 3 CRT's on on my Kitchen Formica Table (21",19",17") 6 Bricks that I put an upper shelf (hutch if you will) on loaded with CD's and Books plus 2 Printers on top of that...works great and plenty of leg room!

I think I may just get a 4x8' sheet of 3/4" cabinet-grade plywood per MikeD's suggestion and make a couple 3.5ft tall x 1ft wide x 4 ft deep bases... That should work correct? I want to make the table as easily portable (3 pieces) yet strong as possible.
