What desk are you using with your new iMac 27'?

Please ignore the wallpaper.

It looks bad, but the old dinette table with a cement block shelf is highly functional.

Seriuosly though, I've used concrete masonry units as shelving and even built a cool drafting station out of them years ago...

Regrettably I have no control over the aesthetics so I work with what's provided. My toys work well; that's all I care about.

Here is my desk setup. Got it from walmart online. I use it to record music and im currently about to start trying my hand at FCP x. I picked this desk bc it has a little space on the right that fit my line 6 pod hd pro amp modeller perfectly.

I'm using a desk that I bought from Costco actually. We have a very small den area and we cannot put such a long desk as some you see on the setup thread. I'll post photos tomorrow

get THIS one

there is no better alternative. hands down the best desk i have ever used. Here's a stock pic, will put one up later of mine... awesome cable management system, eco-friendly, 12 outlet powerstrip, printer space (underneath), genuine HARDWOOD and made in the USA!

My Nextdesk is on the truck for delivery. Will probably set it up this weekend. I'll post pictures of my desk and setup soon!

(if someone owns this, any advice? is it any good? )

$825 for $50 worth of lumber that looks like little more than a nicely painted $8 TV tray is obscene. Honestly, spend your money on a great chair instead.

For less than $300, and a trip to Ikea, you can have this:


Here's the link to "how to"

I didn't put the upper monitor stand on it. The blog article above is very detailed on how to build it, heights, and the desktop, and your body.

Same old desk

Just a standard computer desk I bought from a co-worker 20 years ago for $50. Still works.

My desk bought from a charity shop in the town where I live for a grand total of 10 English Pounds

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say. I think it looks REALLY cheesy personally. Sorry!

I noticed that you were looking at the big Bluelounge desk, don´t know if you bought it yet but just incase you have not (it´s a fairly old thread so you probably have) but I have the 27" iMac on the smaller version of Bluelounge desk. Was really worried that it would look "bulky" with the 27" on the small desk, but it fits just fine.

Got my Nextdesk setup finally.

I have a nextdesk too and its beautifullll and spacious yet thin and light
