I am looking into getting a new desk and am currently looking at some of Ikea's desks. I would like to be able to fit two monitors on my desk, one is a 24" and the other is a 23" also if my mid tower desktop could fit on the desk that would be nice but i don't need it. If the price can be under $150 (US) that would be nice too. If anyone has good recommendations than please share and if you have a picture of what your desk looks like feel free show it off. :P

SONG- If you like pina-colatas ME- I like them SONG- And getting caught in the rain ME- I sorta like that SONG- If your not in to yoga ME- I hate yoga SONG- Then im the love that you look for ME-  :blink:  no...

You should probably just head down to Ikea with some measurements of the monitors and system you want to fit on there. I don't recommend a desk that has a closed back to it if you want a specific space to put the system (as opposed to on top of the desks, which a lot of people do these days; I don't, I have a "hot spot" in my desk). For that sort of thing, ATX Full Tower cases might not fit, like, ever. Mid Towers should be fine. My desk is old as hell, so it supports up to 20" tall cases.

The Walker Edison Soreno is a good GLASS desk for its price, at under 150 on amazon right now so I'd recommend that one. It easily fits multi monitor displays because its a 3 piece that forms an L shape for corners. If you're not a fan of glass or just not sure about shipping a desk to your house, like the others I'd suggest going to IKEA, Office Depot, or any equivalent store around your area for desks. Good luck on your desk hunt.

I can agree on the desks, but their chairs is awful. Yes even the one called Markus.

I bought a used IKEA desk for like 20 euros which is pretty good. (Check local sites that sell used items, might be worth it)

I've got a Torkel which was only like $80 and I like it, I do think some of their chairs look quite stupid and imo would feel too comfortable for gaming/long hours.

The Galant desk is great, I had gotten mine from a local Ikea branch and I'd be first to admit this, the quality of the desk top and its metal legs are pretty exceptional.

I agree with GamerDude, I have the Galant as well, (glass top) plenty of room for both my 23" and 24" monitors along with my Define R4 with room to spare, also, you can doodle on the desk or take notes with sharpie (yes permanent marker, cant tell you how many times people think im crazy for doing it) and it wipes off very easily with either hand sanitizer, wipes right off. its a little more pricey then $150, i believe around $220, but the quality is great and the legs can be adjusted up or down for more space if needed, definitely gets my vote.

Another option is build one yourself the way you want it. That's all dependent on what you have available for tools/resources however. I've got a lot of tools, so I built one out of some 3/4" MDF I had and some 2x4's. While it's not the sexiest thing around, it looks decent and is strong enough to survive, well, probably a nuclear blast haha. I'll be building a simpit style area next.

Never say it's not broken. Everything is broken. Why? Because everything needs MOAR POWA!

Take the wheels off and never use the keyboard tray. Mine served me for many years and is still in working condition. Top tier is large enough for several monitors and speakers and a printer. Lower tier is good for a keyboard and mouse and an assortment of trash.

This seems to be the current offering. I can't attest for material or build quality though.
