Desks?

[Jack Guinea]

i really need a new desk as the one im using is too small which means my monitors are distorted, my pc has to be underneath with causes it to overheat as there is no room for the fans. If anyone has one or knows where to get a decent one please tell me, if looked at the popular sites but it is hard as i need one which is a minimum of 60 inches long.

You could try make one?
Plenty of tutorials online i would imagine and you could make it to what you want.

Nah, im a total stress head so i would end up killing someone and also the price of the materials and tools....

Try secondhand office furniture outlets. I have bought steel filing cabinets etc. at a fifth of the price of new.

This is my desk which i'm very pleased with...I spent ages researching desks and couldn't find any thing in the UK that suited my needs,so i found this Jahnke range in Germany

Do you reckon that will be able to hold my full tower and all 3 monitors, im only worried as my pc weighs alot

 

[Narcotics]

It will be fine no way a pc and 3 monitors weigh 50kg

 

[Jack Guinea]

Well i just looked and 50kg is equal to 110 pounds and i have weights and there is no way that my pc and monitors add up to 110 pounds

That looks like a big desk!

I'm planning on getting a new desk next week (this one I'm currently using is too small and looks a bit suspect)

Im not to sure what one ill need, i just measured and my pc is 9inches wide and my desk at the moment is about 48inches long so it should be ok, the only thing is i now need to find a small bookcase sort of thing to put all my games and dvds.

It's an S2 and no it's not good for scratching well not anything advanced anyway. I think it would be nice with a Innofader but I have a set of SL 1210-M3D to scratch on. I just find the controller makes things so much easier and gives you more time to be creative where as on vinyl my hands are never of it.
