Default Good desk for two computers?

Hey guys,

Next month my family will be moving into an unfurnished apartment, and my brother and I will need a computer desk (preferably one that holds both). I was looking at L-shaped ones, but something under $100 would be great. I've heard of those white plastic tables (great for LANs) but can't find one. What is their name? Anyway, if someone could recommend one, I'd be grateful!

L-shaped desks rule!

Are you completely against making your own? If not... you can get a big sheet of MDF and custom make it with a jigsaw, won't take long.

I would get the ikea galant L, I think it is 160 or 170. I would not get a plastic table, that is something temporary.

Because the townhouse will have a basement, I'll be spending a lot of time there. However, I (we) don't have any tools because unfortunately, we went through a tough time economically and mentally a couple years ago and still can't completely recover. Me spending money on tools when we need furniture reflects poorly on my behalf.

Any ideas with links? Again, preferably one desk capable of holding two antec 300's with no problem, to save some cash...

P.S. I would love to build my own desk sometime, maybe I find a deal or two. However, I can't right now, as I don't have 1) tools 2) space 3) time.
