    I suspect ... and this is just a wild, seriously out there hunch ... it might be a budget buster!

      I see a flaw in your plan ... it requires the existence of a desk already. Wait a second that sounds familiar, we're you the PM on a project I worked on a couple of years back ..? ;)

      Nah, I just cut costs by imagining that there was already a table in existence :doh:

        I need a new computer desk (with room for my server, a couple of external hds, a monitor, my laptop, and a couple of routers) and a comfy chair (like the rest of me, my back started complaining after 30 ;) ). Anyone have any online/physical store preferences (in the US)? Brand preferences? If your setup cost more then say $700, thats very nice but I'm way too cheap!

        A door blank on top of a couple of saw horses. Works good and plenty of room! Mike

            You want to out source a desk? Gee, I thought us developers were all the same. Don't we usually just go and build what ever we need. ;P

            Desk.NET makes building a table fast, and easy. AND you can use any kind of wood, since it all comes down to intermediate tools.

              How about using a couple two-drawer filing cabinets instead with the door blank? Would almost look like a real desk. :) -- Ian

                Probably not but it is cheap and very functional. I've use it and it does work! Besides it comes in various sizes, 24, 28, 30, 32 and 36 inches wide by 80" long. Mike :)

                  Good eye. Plenty of storage! Besides it can be finished in any color or stain as needed to match other furniture! Mike

                    :mad: You stole my answer! :) I was reading this thread and was about to add my comments when I spotted yours. This was my work area setup when I started my first job out of college. It worked well, it had lots of desk & storage space ..... but the room was a bit drafty....! ;) Cheers,

                    Ali

                      There is no 'Computer Desk' marketed as such which you can sit at an work comfortable at. Big flat desks are the best thing invented for computers.
