Desks that keep your rig propped off the floor

Unenclosed! Looking for something like this:

492

Except with the enclosure on the right side, for obvious fan related purposes. I don't care about what the desktop looks like as I'm not even sure what i want in that department. Figured I'd begin the search with the most important piece thumb.gif

I just use a black plank of what used to be a shelf that I didn't need where it was. It happened to be the perfect size, sticking out a couple inches on each side. Sounds ghetto, but it really don't look bad at all.

If that's all you're really wanting, why buy a whole new desk? Just get a piece of wood generally the size of your computer's footprint, and call it good.

That's what I do now, but I need a new desk anyway. May as well accommodate in a less ghetto fashion if its possible thumb.gif

If the PC is to the left of the desk, it should be something like below:-
588

425



Alternatively, the PC can be to the right of the desk. And it looks like:-
626


I advise thinking twice of placing a PC close to the floor. My experience is the PC will suck in a lot more dust (relative to being placed on a desk) when it is placed close to the floor (even when it is 6'' above the floor).

The 1st and 3rd tables are just for illustrating an idea. As the actual tables are sold in China, I do not think it is economical to ship them to UK/US.

The 2nd table is from an UK store. Here:-
