Desk Suggestions

[TheNinjaNextDor]

Hi! I got done with my PC and really really don't want to put it under my desk like it has been, but my desk is way to small and weak for it. I want a desk that I can put a 750D with all my hardware weighing about 50 lbs, my monitor (which is also heavy), and my keyboard/mouse. I looked at the desks at Ikea, but they don't seem strong enough for it. Suggestions?

 

Budget is around $100

 

Thanks!

IKEA's desks are strong, just kinda wobbly... I have one of their huge L-Shaped ones but the curve is WAAYYYY too deep...

The RealSpace Magellan is a good desk, and it is really stable, and you can buy a 'Hutch' for it. I saw that Newegg TV uses the desk.

Dont buy the Hutch if you are gonna put a 750D on it.

I thought about it, but I don't know if I really want to.

 

Any design ideas?

make it as big as you can fit so you can have all the monitors and computer parts and crap laying around

I like ikea's table top and leg system, where you pick out your own table top and legs

Heres a combo that I like a lot. If I was in the market for a new desk I'd look at this one, but with a longer table top for my work space/battle station.

I looked at those things. I just wonder if they'll hold all the weight.

My bet is that it's pretty damn solid.  $245 is a lot for a cheap desk from ikea.  If it was a $110 dollar desk at ikea, then I'd be skeptical.

Yeah, that's true. Maybe I should get more money before I buy one lol

Last time I was at ikea, I checked out the desk section. They seemed pretty solid. I would be quite confident putting my setup on it.

Then it looks like that's what I'll get.

I looked around on C L and local thrift shops. Got mine at a thrift shop, paid 5 bucks.
