My university is 6 months from having a new chemical engineering building. In the building there is a computer lab with about 30 computers (which I will hopefully have lots of input into - but that is another story). If we let the university pick the computer desks we will get the standard university desk: sunken monitor that cannot be seen due to glare from the desktop glass and square corners which cut into your arms and knees.
Does anyone have a link to a place selling computer desks or at least a picture of a good desk (which I will have our technician build as a last resort)? It must have these features:
1) Hold standard computer case, keyboard, and mouse.
2) Ability to hold 19" monitors without glare AND without significantly blocking the view students have of the professor.
3) Sufficient writing space for student's use: class notes, tests, after hours homework, etc.
4) Hopefully low cost.
I was thinking of a desk with a recessed monitor holder in the back - a partially sunken monitor.
Here is a site I found to help out. The DT series on the left wouldn't work since it is too difficult to see a professor. The SR series is almost ideal, but there isn't enough writing space between the person and the monitor. The SS series is what I want to avoid, that glass over the monitor creates major glare.
