    MY current desk is just too small :p So I want a bigger one, something along the lines of this shape and size clicky here in a light coloured wood.

    Like this:

    but with the curve the opposite way round and solid side panels instead of those `leg things` :p

    For less than £217.36 inc vat and delivery (thats the cheapest I've found, but havent looked very hard) In the UK (obviously :p )

    Don't bother suggesting making one, because my woodwork skills are non-existant :p

    Thanks :clap:

    That's a nice looking desk mate; i need a new one soon, this one's tiny; it's only about 1+1/2ft deep so my monitor sticks off the back if i want to have my keyboard in front of it... :(

    That's the sort of desk I use at work.

    I have my PC at the narrow end though...so it can't be seen by passing supervisors.

    I couldn't have one of those; i'm always putting down cards and stuff on my nice wooden desk; once that thin layer of non-conductive Al is scratched off by the sharp solder joints though, i'd be stuffed :(

    You can bounce on it? Must be worth the £217 then.

    Does look rather cool with the cathode though :D

    You actually tested that?

    I can imagine the call to the store...

    "Um...hi...my new desk is broken."

    "Okay...how did that happen?"

    "I was...er....jumping on it."

    :worried: :D
    I stood on it and kind of jumped :)

    Yeah, I don't think I'll be moving it by myself, even the 2 guys who delivered it could only just about move it into place when it was assembled :cooldude:

    He'll have nice tanned legs, and a pastey top half. (Well only if he sits at the desk naked!)

    One summer I was working at a manufacturer for office furtiture. They said I could have a desk top (just like the toop pic) - without the legs. So I have it on top of a cheap Argos desk! Seems to work ok.

    Nice desk. Looks like one I have made before. The price wasn't so steep, was it? I have had more expensive desks. And that's just a bit more than my multitech interactive leisure station cost... :eeek:
    I like the purple ccfl under it :)
