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.
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!

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

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.
