Default Computer Desks.

Were after getting a new one, as the we have has found a new home.

Just curious as to what everyone has got? And maybe suggestions on a good www site to buy/look?

I cant think of anywhere else apart from Argos and Ikea!!

MFI, Office World or whatever its called, Staples. A lot of computer shops will sell them, for obvious reasons.

If posh is a problem, try the local tip. Loads of bargains to be had there. Charity shop as well? See if your local school is having a clear out and even get some of the kids to walk 2 miles to deliver it!

Ideally, you want a bit of room between the back of the pc, and the desk

The reason for this is 2 fold.

1) So it can freely blow the air from the power supply out.

2) When you break it, and I have to repair it for you, I can get access to the machine easily

The Bishman, take note

I do hope you're talking about the desk and not the pc, his D.I.Y skill's leave a lot to be desired, let alone the PC installation skills

I am passing comment on you saying "a bit too posh for me" as shown in your above statement. I am suggesting some places that may not be as posh. I do not know you from Adam so am not implying anything, don't take it personally, Twat!
