What's a good computer desk?

I wasn't sure where to put this so "general discussion" is as good as any. When I moved into my house 12 years ago I went to Ikea and got their Jerker desk. It's still good but parts of it are starting to show its age. Specifically, the plastic trim is coming unglued. I tried to fasten it back with a glue gun but that didn't work so I'm using bits of duct tape in the right spots. Anyway, I'm starting to consider getting a new desk. I wouldn't mind it being a few inches wider to handle two monitors. The Jerker has an upper shelf which I love. I got my DSL modem, central speaker, a few toys, and other things commonly found on a desk but up and out of the way. So any new desk would have to have it. I want a good solid build, no keyboard tray (those things are too shaky for my tastes). I'm tall so there being an easy way to raise/lower the monitor(s) would be nice too. Or I could get monitors that have a good height adjustment. Any ideas? Thanks!

Neat! They're not going to discontinue it soon are they? I was disappointed when I couldn't get the overhead shelf extension since the line itself was canned.
