So I built my PC this summer. It is fairly decent for what i need. I will post pictures of the entire set up soon. This is to also show the desk i made for a total of $24.50 in new parts and salvaged materials for the rest.  I will take more pics of the desk with my PC and monitor set up soon.

As you can see, i have ran out of room. My desk is a mess. I can barely use it at all.

All of this was made with the original table/desk i was given two years ago, A captain's bed my neighbor threw away down the street. A New 30" interior door from Lowes, $19.50

button head, square drive screws to hold it together.

 

The next update will be shots of my pc, monitor and how the desk works for me.
