Most people will probably say black, but I think white would suit it a lot better. Black seems too overdone, and although it shows the dirt less, the white will certainly compliment your room and pc stuff better I think.

just Lots of people use black, and lots of pc components are black, so it just seems to get a bit boring.

White. Just remember to clean it. With white, comes great dirt. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

First of all. dem speakers.

 

Second, I think white would look really nice for the reasons stated above. I'm actually planning on getting a new desk soon too, and I'm leaning towards one of ikea's glossy white tops, so I can use the surface as a white board since I use white boards a lot and don't have much wall space for one :)

I have the same headphones as you! They're brilliant aren't they? :)

 

I vote for the black desk. It'll look sexier, and if you desk is white if it gets bright in your room it'll make it harder to see your displays as you'll get light reflecting onto the monitors and potentially in your eyes which could cause a bit of strain. If you want your room to feel brighter though I'd go for the white desk.

 

Also I think you should give me your old desk :P

That's more fiery than sassy. I guess it'll have to do.
