Default 2 Computer Setup?

Is there any desk that I can ergonomically/efficiently operate 2 different computers? I currently have this desk:
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=9854981

But having to turn my head and reach up to the keyboard/mouse on the right gets really annoying.

You'll probably have to go with something that doesn't have a pull-out tray for kb/mouse.

Alternatively, why don't you just get a KVM switch and run two towers that way? Then you could keep your hands right where you have them and still access both machines.

kvm
or if you can fit two monitors side by side use synergy

I was going to recommend synergy as well, I've used it for a Linux/Windows setup and it was great. KVMs are great for single monitor setup, but make sure you get one with the right hookups for your setup (be it ps/2 or usb, vga or dvi.
