I need a new computer desk for my home office. I need some ideas. No IKEA, please. Show me pimped out desks with spinner rims.

I bought two tressels from Habitat and a Glass top, only cost around £220 sterling and it looks the business, only thing is I can see every wire goin into me G5, which pishes me off endlessly

see that, mirrorball, it's like the folks that put glass doors on their kitchen cabinets. seems like a good idea until you find it's one more thing you have to keep neat.

try and catch them on one of their many sales. Solid desks. I think mine is one of the smaller models, forget which one, but it held 2 21" CRT's for 2 years without buckling or warping, now the load has been lightened with 2 LCD's and it's still going strong.

my old man designed a dining table for my folks house.
i guess the same could be done for a computer table.
he sketched out a drawing of how the steel frame would look and gave measurements etc then just gave the designs to the local blacksmiths.
Im pretty sure he got the frame built for about £40-60!
(not bad for a unique selfdesigned 1-off frame!)
then he bought a sheet of toughened glass to put on the top.couldnt get much simpler than that.
the glass is the expensive part.
if you are using a glass table for a computer then your optical mouse wont work on the glass.
a wee tip is to get a "mousemat" sandblasted ONTO the glass. then your mouse will work fine :)

It is so hard to find a good affordable desk. Seems like all the nice ones are european and overpriced...
