Best Computer Desk?
I'm in the market for a new computer desk...would love to hear your input on which is the best any why.
Re: Best Computer Desk?
I just use an office desk, and I love it:

Fits both my 20" widescreens, speakers, and massive tower on top, and still has crap loads of room left. This desk is pretty huge though, so if you get this kind make sure it'll fit!
I love big desks though, the more space the better!

Re: Best Computer Desk?
I just have a desk from IKEA that is also pretty large, but doesn't curve around a corner like Inkyskin's does.
It's got a drawer and a cupboard, but I don't really use them for anything.
I need a lot of space because I have a tendency to scatter paper everywhere!

I think all the cool designers have Ikea desks.
But that could also be a result of them not having any money left after spending $4k on their Macs and Cinema display.

This is what I have http://www.computerdesksnmore.com/Commo ... ID=1279906
They sell / used to sell it at staples
( hmm mine has a pullout keyboard drawer and doesnt have that raised monitor shelf, besides you dont sit in the corner of it so i wonder why they put it in that spot? )

Hey that's an awesome corner desk Inkyskin... I'd love a good corner desk the day I have room for one.
I like that the corner on the inside is a smooth curve, good for staying close to your keyboard

But no computer desk is any good unless it has a cat on it.

Re: Best Computer Desk?
I've got a corner desk too. Pretty big but still not enough room, and also it's really annoying that it's flush with the walls cos I can't run wires down the back - which means everything wired to my computer has to be on one side of the desk. Even more annoying if you want to use surround sound speakers.
Re: Best Computer Desk?
Can you drill some holes in it for wires?

Re: Best Computer Desk?
Well I didn't really want to risk ruining my new desk when I got it! And now it's in place/use it's pretty awkward to start drilling. And some parts of the desk have a shelf immediately underneath, so it would look stupid and be twice the work.astions wrote:Can you drill some holes in it for wires?
Plus the really annoying thing about wiring issues like this is, I can't just drill a little hole, it'll have to be big enough to fit the biggest type of connector through. Worst case I can think of is a kettle plug - power plug one end, big female 3 prong power connector on the other.

I have an old hand-me-down that looks like it used to a teachers desk. Very sturdy and holds my PC and laptop pretty well.
