I use a custom National furniture L-shaped desk that is made of 100% all solid cherry oak wood, this desk is massive and weighs in at 1250 pounds.This desk measures at 29H X 34D X 74W on the big side and the smaller side is 29H X 30D X 62W. The price for this baby was $3999.99 USD

That would properly be awesome but they would never believe us with the whole "made in india" bit ;)

I'm using a very simple and decently cheap desk for my three monitors and my Obsidian 900D.

It's basically just two drawer-section-things with wheels from IKEA and a wooden board resting on top.

Only downside is that you need to be wary about where you put the weight, and have the heavy things on top of the drawer sections, and the lighter stuff in the middle.

It should serve you well. I don't own that desk, but once assembled, Ikea's stuff is relatively bomb proof. Though I always seem to end up with parts to spare...
I certainly wouldn't treat it like a bouncy castle, but for holding a handful of monitors, your respective peripherals and a normally sized computer easily.

Too much is never enough.

@Aleks that desk you posted is exactly what I'm looking for xD Sadly New Zealand still lacks Ikea ._. I think I'll have to get it shipped in.

Hey, at least you're not from the United States... I probably would lie and say I'm from Canada or something. Man, I gotta learn to do accents like a Scottish one or something. Also, the one thing that pops up in my head about Sweden is how supposedly peaceful, nice, and neutral it is, especially compared to I don't know, Italy, France, England, Russia, China, US, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, and more.

 

A Patrick Stewart accent or a Huddersfield accent would be awesome and hilarious when people will stare at me like I had a stroke or something. By the way, strokes are not funny, m'kay?

I've got the swedish version of that dialect... If i really get it going then only the people from the area can understand me. 

Anyways since this turned into a pic thread i thought i'd post mine aswell.

Instead of a traditional office desk, which can be quite expensive, I went with a countertop from Ikea. It's a lot cheaper than a traditional office desk of this size and also strong enough to support a triple monitor setup.

 

Countertop: http://www.ikea.com/dk/da/catalog/products/50202171/

Legs (x6): http://www.ikea.com/dk/da/catalog/products/90217972/#/70217973

 

My monitor arm is the NewStar FPMA-D700D3

I also have one of these mounted in my desk: http://www.delock.com/produkte/F_247_extern_61989/merkmale.html

 

I see i'm not the only one i have the exact same counter top and legs for my computer desk.

Cause i couldn't find a desk in the size i needed for a reasonable price.

Oh and word of advice if you need to carry it up some stairs.

Get some one to help you carry it cause its quite heavy.

I use this baby, but instead of a light wood it's a black powder coated finish. Easily room for dual monitors of the longer side and a little side table for other bits (currently a curry).

A simple wooden desk I've had for as long as I can remember. It's 120cm x 75cm, so not really intended for a 3-monitor setup and a 750D but I only own a single 21" monitor so it's fine for me. If the monitors were mounted the wall the 750D were placed on the floor it would be big enough for me.

A huge wooden desk (about 170cm x 80cm) made about a mile from where I live. I personally find mass produced furniture like ikea horribly boring when you can get hand made furniture with a local history for a pretty good price.

I've got a wooden desk that I've had for many, many years. It's an L-Shape desk for use in a office space, so it has a very large area to work with. It's too big for my liking and I hate facing the corner of my room. I'm looking into getting a newer desk big enough to support 3 monitors in the future :P
