Every desk I've seen is far too small for my needs. It has to have enough space for a 17'' CRT monitor, a subwoofer, scanner, printer, an UPS, and of course all the other elements of my computer (Miditower case, keyboard, mouse, speakers...). I want it to be very big, because I always need a lot of space for notes and some other stuff. Can anyone tell me where to find some pictures of that kind of desk? I just need an idea, so I can start making it.

Maybe you misunderstood, or maybe I posted this into a wrong section, but I don't want to make a desk out of some old door or anything like it. I just need you to recommend me some nice, big computer desks for me to see them and I'll make it out of some nice wooden boards (not doors)... Maybe you know some sites with pictures of furniture or something like that?

I have one very important suggestion. Make sure you can access the back of your tower easily. I bought a computer desk at Kohl's a few years ago and it is so hard to access the back of the computer. If I need to plug anything in I have to lie in the floor and reach up under the board that is the back of the desk. It is very inconvenient and I can't see what I'm doing. Anyway, enough griping, just be sure you can access everything easily.
As far as finding pictures, I'd suggest you go to www.officedepot.com, www.staples.com, www.officemax.com, www.quill.com, and any other office supply websites you can think of.

We additionally bought the record hutch which handles all our printer, WiFi, and cable connection containers and our very own submitting device as properly. It replaced right into a great investment. in some unspecified time interior the destiny you could step as much as a actual workplace set up that provides you all the useful aspects you opt for. pc desks can no longer do this.

I can't help you with style but I can help you with the size; make it in pieces so that you can move it! We have a huge executive-type desk that we use for our desktop computer and we had to take it apart in order to get into into the basement den. And it wasn't meant to come apart! So make it so the top can be removed and any side pieces can be moved separately. You'll thank yourself if you ever have to move. Also, get a piece of glass or a 1/4" piece of plexiglass for the top to save the finish. We built a upside-down u- shaped piece for our 2 printers so that they could stack and take up less space. Good luck!

Why not start with a large flush door? They are at least 30 inches wide and 78" long and have a nice finish on them. If you put it onto 2 drawer cabinets you just about have it all.

Any office furniture store have steel desks with 6' tops. Used office furniture could be an option.

A door. Find a cheap or old door. Put a couple filing cabinets under it (to be used as "legs"). Use the flat part of the door as your work space. Use the filing cabinets as storage. Paint it if you need it to be appealing.
