How would you layout a 2 PC desk?
« on: January 16, 2008, 01:30:14 PM »
OK, I am thinking on how to combine the 2 desks I have but that is a LOT of desktop space to combine in a functional way.  I am looking for suggestions and diagrams.  Maybe we can put our collective brains together and design a better desk?

Here are the requirements at this point.

- Must hold:
  • 2 computers (1 is currently a desktop unit but will be upgraded to a laptop with docking station, the other is my gaming computer that needs to be accessible for LAN parties.)
  • 2 keyboards
  • 2 mice
  • 4 monitors
  • 20 books
  • LED Caller ID globe
  • Clock
  • USB fridge
  • USB hub for each computer
- Minimum of movement to move between systems
- minimum of trouble getting into the desk to sit down
- room to work on paperwork
- file drawers for important docs
- storage drawers for sundry items.

Maybe even room for the small fridge to be nearby?

Bring on your thoughts, ideas, diagrams, and links.  I will be adding to the thread as I come up with stuff as well.

Zoë: Shepard, isn't the Bible kind of specific about killing?
Book: Very specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzy around the area of kneecaps.

If I wanted to be insane I would have linke this  I just want a functional setup to use my computers on.

I am starting to think an 8ft table with 3 file cabinets underneath and a separate desk slammed into it for the second PC might be the best approach, but it's still early in the process.

The last one you linked is closer to what I am looking for.

Yeah, I saw that on page 22.  But as pictured it would run me $3400 plus shipping.

WAY out of my budget.  I do like the layout for that though.

You could build something. or if you know someone that is good with wood, you buy the material and then the beer and food afterwards.
No matter how hard you try to push the envelope, remember it's only stationary.
