Right now I'm looking for a new computer desk and I'm hoping to get good recommendations whether you have it, want it, have heard good things about one, or if you know of a good one. Right now what I want is not specific because I'm not 100% how I want to arrange my room and everything until I find a desk I like and go from there. But nothing to specific I'm thinking 40-60 inches, $200 or less, can be a corner desk, and should be able to easily fix two monitors and maybe my tower.

"So because they didn't give you the results you want, they're biased? You realize that makes you biased, right?" - @App4that

"Brand loyalty/fanboyism is stupid." - Unknown person on these forums

"Assuming kills" - @Moondrelor

"That's not to say that Nvidia is always better, or that AMD isn't worth owning. But the fact remains that this forum is AMD biased." - @App4that

"I'd imagine there's exceptions to this trend - but just going on mine and my acquaintances' purchase history, we've found that budget cards often require you to turn off certain features to get slick performance, even though those technologies are previous gen and should be having a negligible impact" - ace42

I generally have two people sitting here, so it's a good buy.

 

 

But it's even better when it's just me ;-)

I use a corner IKEA desk. My racing wheel is on the lower shelf when not in use, controller is on a left shelf, and the other shelves are for anything else a desk user could want! Originally, my monitor was wall mounted with a hinge, but I didn't do that after I moved.

Will these two work together?

Table Top: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80251481/#/20251479 (47" length 23" wide)

4 Legs: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70217973/#/90217972 (27" tall)

I have been doing a lot of measuring and math and this is what I have come up with because my room has some limitations because one wall is all closet doors that need to be accessed and I also have a twin bed! :)

Do you know if the desk will be wobbly?

extremely sturdy

the screws for the legs are a pain to screw in, but they will stay in there forever
