I had a glass desk. Dust was as bad as any other piece of furnature, except you could just see it easier. The real issue was scratches. One year after having it, it was sort of ruined :/

This ^

I've not owned a glass desk myself but I've used desks that are glass and they can scratch quite easily. I don't think I'd ever buy one unless I had practically covered the entire surface with some kind of mat like almost a table cloth. And that kind of defeats the purpose in the first place. I'll stick to wood.

It doesn't matter if it is glass, metal, or wood. they all still get dust on them. I know that everyone hate dust on their furniture.

There are desk mats available at the store... but desk mats can get dust on them..

You can put desk mat on the glass desk so you wouldn't worry about the scratch marks on it.

Damn - I'd love one of those for my two HP MicroServers, but funding is a little tight at the moment.

Finally got a HDMI cable for my slate. Now I only use my old Touchsmart for Music and TV/Movies.

Yeah, the wood's colour contrasts nicely with the blue walls anyway, and glass is a nightmare to clean if you're like me who notices every speck of dust and every fingerprint mark and would be wiping it every five minutes as a result.

I'm that bad with screens etc... :pinch:

Agreed. I thought two screens on my desk was overkill... even worse when I added my laptop to the mix.
