Question Computer Desk Recommendation

Hey guys,

I didn't realize how difficult it is to find a decent computer desk that will house 3 monitors and yet be modern and compact enough to look good.

Do you have any favorite brands? websites?

This one is interesting.. http://www.overstock.com/Office-Supp...2/product.html

Why white desk? well my case is white.



P.S. My entire home office is a one big tribute to the NY Rangers..so blue, black, white, works...

I'm guessing you need a lot more space. The one you posted looks ok...

the one I've posted is a sample, I like how it has enough shelves to put away my CDs, paper, folders, etc... I can either do a corner L shape or a regular desk.. I have space. I just don't want clutter.

And thanks for that craiglist link, that is the table of my dreams.

Fine-- OfficeMax or Office Depot, and don't get a desk with a hutch.

My daughter's full-size workstation desk has a bookcase on the left side, a full-length monitor ledge (more than enough room for 3 monitors-- a heavy 17" CRT monitor, multi-function printer with auto-doc feeder, router and modem are there now, and there's more room) above the desk's writing surface, pull-out keyboard shelf underneath and a desktop CPU case shelf above a file drawer on the right.

We got it at OfficeMax, but it's a self-assembly unit by Sauder. I just looked at the OfficeMax site, and it's no longer there.

The design is good; I can't find anything similar now. The closest to it (not as wide, no bookshelf or file drawer) is this:

^ Thank you... OK no hutch, I just wanted to hide my CD-Rs, and external hard drives.

The Amazon link, that's a nice workstation, very well thought out, it just a bit boring for the home. My better half would leave me outside with it. I don't think I can turn into a livable shelter

Could always wall mount the monitors and then pick out any desk you want...

How big are your 3 monitors?

Back when I had a multi monitor setup I would just use an old dining table

I need a desk not only to house 3 monitors but one where I can actually do some paperwork (as in work from home). Monitors are 23" each, but one is vertical for coding. I have monitor arms.

I like this one. Great monitor support. It's just a bit ugly. What do you think?
