Hi all (First Post on EVGA Forums - woot)!
First off, just want to thank everyone for participating in this thread as it has served as gold mine in helping me assess my next gaming desk purchase.
My current desk has TERRIBLE ergonomics (too high, no depth for monitor) and looks ugly (was budget).
I finally have some money to my name and am willing to buy bigger & better in order to get a comfortable, ergnomic, and most important: a COOL looking desk setup.
Was looking for something that fit the following bill:
-lots of leg space (not surrounded by leg cabniets)
-lots of surface area (can move keyboard and eat while watching something easily, also need to place my CPU Tower Full ATX on the desk)
-ergonomic height-wise
-bad arse looking
- I like the L Shape
TLDR:
I really like the desks posted by RushXTC and 02bwln.
Can you guys post where you got your desks and the price range for them?
Also if anyone has any suggestions for me please help a fledgling noob out :)!
Well, If you already like my desk and it does fit that criteria you posted, Why not!
My desk is by Z-Line, I purchased it at staples about 2 years ago, I believe. It was close to $300 at the time, Now it's pretty cheap!!
http://www.staples.com/Z-...-L-Desk/product_727061 4 1/2 stars out of 261 reviews at the staples site.
Can't find that one in amazon, But if I had seen this one I would have purchased it, So I could have my printer on top and my PS3 as well..... It's $159 shipped.

There's a very good amount of leg space here :) -lots of surface area (can move keyboard and eat while watching something easily, also need to place my CPU Tower Full ATX on the desk)
As you can see, The glass holds my heavy case (Full size as well) and I have my monitor hanging on the wall on the right side, My speakers underneath, My mouse and keyboard and if I want to eat I can push keyboard back and have more than enough room, Lol. -ergonomic height-wise
Height is pretty average, If you have a desk chair the shouldn't really matter. -bad arse looking
I love the nice clean look the glass/black trim gives it - I like the L Shape
It is indeed L-Shape and fits nicely in the corner. Updated pic:
If you need anymore help or have any questions about my desk, Go ahead and ask. Just as an FYI, I've dropped heavy speakers on the glass, I've set my PC down too fast where I thought it would break, Nothing breaks this glass. Well maybe a hammer, But I don't really want to find out LOL. It has gone through years of torture and it's still here standing strong.

Starting to narrow down the desk to:
1.
2.
Any other suggestions or warning before I pull the trigger on one of these bad boys?
*EDIT: Not sure if links failed but just in case:
1. Ikea Galant L Shape
2. Walker-Edison Imperial L Shape
Imperial L-Shape is pretty much the same as mine, Made by a different company. If you don't like the one I linked above, Then this one has my vote. Much cleaner looking than a wooden desk.
