This is what I have right now http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40180042, it's long enough but it's only 18" deep. I knew when I saw it at Ikea that it seemed it wasn't deep enough but I didn't really think to long about it.
Now that I have my computer(will update other thread when the setup looks better), it's way to small. The case is 24" plus the external radiator connected to the back makes it almost 30".
I've been looking all over trying to find a desk that will fit the computer but I'v had no luck. I don't even have my speakers hooked up because there is no room. And my face is like a foot away from the 30" monitor, I think I'm going to go blind I'm sitting so close. I'm typing this with the keyboard on my lap sitting about 15" away from the desk, putting a good 3' between me and the monitor.
Can you guys please help me find a desk. Something in the 60"+ x 30" x 28" area with a keyboard tray. I didn't think finding a desk would be so friggin hard.
Protip: PC --> Floor. That way depth doesn't matter
As for a keyboard tray. I have one, but I prefer to have my keyboard on my lap and my mouse on the tray on the side of my awesome chair. Keyboard trays are overrated, mouse tray is the shit.
As for the speakers. Mount them on the wall, save space
Problem solved?
I have the 800D, the bottom is an open grill with fans sucking in air. I didn't want to put it on the ground to suck up dust into the computer. My room gets really dusty, thats why I got an air purifier. Plus theres the side window looking into the computer if its on the ground you can't see all the awesomeness inside. Whats the point of that. This is the first comp I've had with a side window, all the others I've had didn't have windows to see inside so I put them on the ground like you said. I will be mounting the 4 speakers on the walls but there is the one in front of me that I didn't even have room for.
Thanks for the help guys. Funny thing is I just got back from Ikea and bought another desk that 60"x29.5" so I'm good now. Only thing is that it doesn't have a keyboard tray. The reason I wanted the tray was because when the keyboard/mouse were on the desk my wrist bones started to hurt because they were to high.
I'll post pictures in my build thread and you'll see why I want it on the desk and not hiding underneath. I'll post a picture of what it was on before as well.
Sorry should work now. I keep forgetting if you put a period after the link it doesn't work on this forum.
The desk I got can fit 3 monitors(depending on size) if you are putting your case on the ground. I think if I had 2 other 30" I could fit the stands on the desk with the edges of the monitors off the side of the desk. I got drawers to. And the best part is that it's about a third the price. The only thing is if you are putting the case on the desk which you probably aren't cause of 3 monitors. You will have to counter balance something on the other side. I had to put my printer on the other side of the desk because the case weighs ~90 pounds and it was lifting the legs up on the other side .
I think that, if you wanted to save further space, you could mount the middle monitor to a wall or something and slightly elevate it. That would leave the space for the other two monitors on either side.
Just my two cents. Do you have a speaker system for it?

I hate the way you cling to ignorance and pass it off as innocence
