Can you recommend a good computer desk from Ikea?

[maclover001]

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

I'm currently using the Galant corner-desk and I love it. You can fully customize it to your space and requirements.

Get the Mikael. That's what most people have here. It's only $80.

A lot of people love the old Ikea jerker.

Unfortunately, they don't make it anymore.

They do, however, make a new one that is almost identical called the fredrik.

Loves it.

My friend as a version of the Galant: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S19842001.

It looks basic in the picture and it doesn't have any wire management. However, I saw it in his home office/wife's home photo studio with her iMac on it. I was impressed. A very clean look and not just a utilitarian computer desk look.

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 have the Mikael too. Is it really $80 now? I got it for $69 Canadian a while back.

Thanks everyone, I'll go down there next weekend and have a look.

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?

Yes, I just upgraded to a 32" actually. That one there is 23".

I use the galant. 3 screens (iMac, extra screen, and my old pc screen). It has a lot of space, I've placed my 2 printer on a little move-able table (something like this: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70120546), It works perfect for me.
