    Question Computer desk O.o?

    Well i have a computer desk, for ages and its kinda like this one https://images.furniture123.co.uk/F1.../fol007020.jpg but with the top bits for storing disks etc. Ive noticed that temperatures differ from about 5C being in there and 5C cooler out. Whats the best/cheapest desk that you know? as i could do with a change and if it means my pc will be cooler its worth it.

    Whats the best design? because i hate having mine stuck between 2 slabs of wood. Anyone know of opened spaced ones?

    Ill check the size that i need when i get time: 10mins xD
    Oh i will most likely be getting this case for my rig Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK

    Thanks guys

    Re: Computer desk O.o?

    I had a superb corner(though expensive) desk for many years that is up until very recently when I had to pass it on to my Son........but that's another story. So I having searched for some time for a replacement that was going to be good, yet this time not quite so expensive, I came across this from IKEA. They have many more different ones and are quite reasonably priced and well made.

    So having now bought one I must say I am quite pleased with it, though you do need to make sure the floor is level as it can rock slightly.

    doesnt look like a desk for me as it seems too thin and expensive xD, i was looking around £20. I will get my dad to just make 1 or i will if they are around them prices.

    All it needs is a top for tv, 2 support slabs probably on in the middle too, then one beam at the bottom. That will be cheap from tottem timber.
