Hey guys I have no idea where I should ask this, but anyone have a suggestion for a good desk that is under $100? Right now I am using an old one that I stole from my parents when they bought a new desk. lol It is pretty beat up, but I was wanting something bigger and sturdier. Once I get some sunlight I'll post my pic up of my rig and how bad the setup is. lol I have checked on craigslist, but what I want isn't on there. I am tall, so I would like their to be open space for my feet. Thanks

Ikea is usually a good bet. Not sure if Craigslist is available in your area, but that too is a good place to look. I know around my area there is a "FreeCycle" program where people post stuff they're giving away for free (I believe Craigslist has a subsection for that as well).

I just went to the office supplies store here (Staples) and bought a solid wood top desk with metal legs for just under 100 bucks. Nice big shelf sort of thing for my tower underneath also.

If you can, you could try building your own! That way, you could get everything you need in it and have a truly custom gaming station! If not

IKEA!

Good thread! I am in the market for a new desk as well, there are so many that are so badly constructed that any shake and the whole desk seems to be on the verge of breaking.

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.
