$500 for a desk :eek: i would never spend over $150 on a desk

I used to have an L shaped one which i got for 100 bucks but i had to get rid of it cause we moved, but if i need to a buy a new desk, i'll get another L one.

Agreed 100%.

Still haven't found a desk that meets my needs. Everything I find around here has that damn tray, or is $500. I'm using a folding table for now. lol.

Desk is a bit old, used to be a corner desk but i ghetto rigged it to work like it is. Also i got tired of my batterys in my ms wireless dying in the middle of raids, and cs:s, hence the crappy compaq keyboard (only one with cable i still have)

well i prefer a practical desk,than a crappy mdf pos.i dont care if it looks tatty as long as its a good desk.

i prefer mine to some of this modern junk,that a cheaply made metal frame with a mdf board on the top.

i'll just keep my desk and improve and add to it over the years,which is easy to do as its made of wood.i was thinking a nice slab of english oak for the top first.

I made one :p

We had a set of spare table legs left over, so I went out and found a piece of old kitchen worksurface, cut it to size, and now I have a desk that fits perfectly where it needs to be...but it could do with being a little deeper, but I couldn't find anything any deeper lol.
