Can you recommend a good computer desk from Ikea?

Hi all,
Here's my setup:
- White MacBook
- Samsung SyncMaster 2253BW LCD Monitor
- Wired aluminum Apple keyboard
- Generic optical mouse
- Logitech Z4i speakers
- 3 WD MyBook external hard drives
- Canon CanoScan LiDE 70 scanner
- Canon PIXMA iP8500 printer
- iPod Dock

All this stuff is sitting on some table that is about to fall apart (GASP), and I wanted to buy a computer desk from Ikea for all this.

Can anyone recommend a computer desk from Ikea that will take all this?

Thanks
 
one more vote for the Mikael, I don't have it but I love big flat desks.

Im going to get a new desk in the next few weeks, Im just going to go to home depot or lowes and buy two horses and stain and varnish them then get a big board and put it over it, should be nice big and plain
 
If you want room for stuff, the desk you want is Jonas.

I think I have the same monitor as you (Samsung 2253BW)(Yours is on the left). How do you like it?
Using it with my MacBook right now 😀

EDIT: Wait, they aren't the same. I think yours is a newer model. The position of the power button on mine is uber annoying 😛
 
I have the Mikael w/ drawer add on. My desk looks like an apple store cause of the way the wood looks. The desk is very nice however, it seems a bit big for your needs. I have a 24" iMac so the space is justified.

It is a very nice desk and I cannot recommend it any higher.

how does the drawer add on work? does it replace the right leg panel or does it just fit under the desk? i like the apple feel too. my whole room is filled with apple coloured furniture (what ikea calls birch). to the op, are you getting the mikael then?
