Lol - i just put my computer up on one of these tables

It holds my computer, monitor, and printer - and plenty of extra room

Might not look pretty, but it works well

I don't have a desk, I sit on a couch, put the mouse on the cushion next to me, keyboard on my lap, and then have the monitor on a sort of end table / tv stand in front of me. Works well enough.

I use a wooden table. Plain rectangle table, but it is GIGANTIC. There is awesome legroom and space on the top of desk :)

I use the Brown Laminate Folding tables myself. No need to ever buy a desk. :)

Ive got that setup too, except mine is one of those older plywood ones with the wood grain pattern on it, with my PC on the floor to my left

I have mine on our dining room table in my solarium. It's not the ideal setup, but due to space limitations I do not have much of a choice. It shares a room with my pet rabbit.

I'll post a pic up later.

This is what I use for a desk. I like it alot.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp...ctCategoryId=cat07001&id=1153997588702

On the shelves on the side I have my power supply and tower on the bottom shelve. Then I have my Xbox360 on the second shelf. On the top shelf I have my Automated cd library. Then on the main desk I have my 19inch crt and 15inch lcd. They fit perfectly with the borders overlapping. The beige of my monitors, 360, cd library, and tower contrast well with the glass and black metal.

Only thing I didn't like about best buy is they didn't have the desks on display, and the people that work there are useless. They don't even have the chairs on the floor they are mounted on the wall. The price was good though and I also got a gaming chair cause they cut the price from 150 to 100. When I got my stuff though I figured I would try it and if I didn't like it I would return it for a refund.

It's always best to buy locally and not order over the internet cause with desks the shipping cost is outrageous.

Sorry, hadn't updated my rig since I was in high school. It's current now. The system in the link most definetly is mine. I could provide pictures of it from any angle or with anything on the screens.
