Whats your desk look like?

I was trying to grab some new ideas. I'm thinking of building a custom desk and was trying to look for some nice ideas. I'm not doing anything glass, due to having a small kid. I'll probably build a wooden desk, I don't need those fancy desks that adjust height. So, if you wanna post some pictures of your desk, go ahead. I'd love to see it. The desk I'm currently using is a crappy, boring, store-bought desk I believe from Big Lots. Its not even deep enough on the top to hold my computer on it. I believe its only 14-16 inches deep. I do love the fact that it has a pull out keyboard tray that is big enough to hold both a full size keyboard and a mouse (with mousepad). The reason for a new desk? I'd like my computer off the floor (its a full tower case, very heavy though). Plus, I'd like to comfortably fit two monitors on it and still have space to work on the desk, such as writing or working on things.

here is the main topic!

 

99% of the posts/images are of the inside or around a computer. Doesn't help me get an idea of what to build.

This is what mine looks like, the thing that the monitors are sitting on is not attached in any way, its just there to raise them up a bit. the thing on the left is to fill the gap that was left by a small bench that i had there. The entire thing is way overbuilt but it cost me nothing seeing as I used wood that we had lying around. The entire thing is a pretty lazy job as i needed a desk and did not really want to put that much effort into it. They desk surface is actually 3 separate parts and unfortunately they are not all the same height. Every time I need something else on the desk I just make it. They monitor shelf was not part at first and neither was the shelf thing on the left (I actually did that like 4 days ago) One day I will scrap this entire thing and do it properly.

You know those industrial strength tables used for just about everything that are white and used by every public school for general use?

 

Bingo. Spent about $1,400 to build my PC from scratch and went Jew mode for the table.

Knowledge is power, guard it well.

If you do build your own which i recommend you do, remember not to make the thing to thick at the front because you want to be able to get your legs underneath it. That does not mean it has to be weak though. Reasonable thickness plywood would do the job just fine.
