all i can say is ikea looks really cool and i'd like to decorate my house with it but their products are made out of low quality materials and poorly constructed

p.s.

the first one is cooler :p

If you are lookign for affordable, Office Max (and others like Staples I think) have this glass and metal L desk for $99 all the time (with a free file cabinent).

My friend has one, and for $99 its NICE!

your better just buying a generic desk. computer deks have plenty of room for scanners, printers, monitors, keyboards, mice, cables... but nowhere to put your legs.

Ikea always have very good computer desk...but it's bit pricey I think :s

What about something like this?

$169.00 CDN ($120 USD)

i prefer the spacious computer desks, tables that give you the freedom to move your mouse without knocking your drink off the edge of the table.

for example....

but then again i do spend alot of time dealing with computers at my desk, so i guess comfort is a necessary.

I have the non-L version of this desk, and with a LCD screen you have tons of room. I don't have a printer (we use a network one) or a scanner though, i think that would clutter up the space alot. I like the desk though, just get a good mousepad if you have an optical mouse, because it won't work on glass.

Notice how HP paid Ikea to brand their products inside Ikea's advertising and display pictures.. Hehe.. They probably paid alot. I know HP paid Zellers alot to do that too.. lol

i'm currently using Jerker desk from Ikea. very spacious but little pricey, i believe i paid $129 for my setup

The quality on the first link is questionable, though being metal, I know it won't break, but isn't rigid either. You may have better luck somewhere else.

I do video editing so I need a LOT of space...

Anyways, I wound up getting their EFFEKTIV series "L" shaped desk with an extra add-on. Looks like half of the below pic...

that would be nice in a glass/metal effect.

I love this desk...I think it was Jerker desk from Ikea. It's the desk our fellow Neowinians Sharkfinbowl and TrekXP have in common ;) (Y)

Too bad my room can't accomodate that big desk :(

[bayrider]

those ikea tables are the ugliest things ever

[PCKing]

If you ever have to write something there will be little desk space to do that... but other wise it should suit your needs.
