Best desk?

[verydogesuchwow]

Ok, so my monitor/storage on my current desk (Ikea Micke with the little storage unit on bottom) is getting a little cluttery (that's not a word, but hey go with it)

I would like to spend under $300 for a new one.. ideas for a new desk..?

requirements:

60-80 inches length

30-40 inches width

decent amount of storage for laptops, headphones etc

Build it yourself  You are a doge. It will cost you like $30

You can buy tabletops and table legs at Ikea and customize a desk for like $70.

Used Ikea jerker is life. No idea why they stopped making them.

Hahaha, I do wish I had the patience to do that. I can barely build an Ikea desk without having to call customer support at Ikea.

Thanks though lol

Get a solid wood Ikea counter top, some shelf mounting hardware and finally either aluminum shafts cut size or wooden dowels cut to size.

There's a guide on this forum somewhere.  Let me look for it.  The new search feature is absolute trash.

How do you get the individual parts? I've only been to Ikea around twice (once for the desk, once because I forgot to get a chair). It's also kinda far for me, soooo

Ok thanks, also (off topic warning), how do you like ur x61? If I were to change out my AIO, would you recommend it? I like it a little better than the h100i gtx

I think its fine to have your H100i. Not much for the price

Go either online to the kitchen section under counter tops or in store,  the expensive options are solid wood whereas the cheap ones are not.  Then check out home depot, lowes, or any other hardware store online or irl.

X61 is great but not worth it over a H100i.  It will give you a 1-2 degree improvement at most.
