    Well, there's not really an official place for furniture on this site, so I'm putting this here in the oh-so-lovely spam zone.

    After getting my computer built and everything put up, I'm out of room on my desk, and I've known for a long time I'd need to replace it. The issue I'm having is what's a good replacement. The desk I have right now is really small, but it has lots of drawers I could use. A few things i could move over to the TV stand, like all the games I have stuffed in one shelf, another is just full of useless electronic parts, and others with old school work I have no where else to put. Here's a picture from my phone

    It's about 29" H X 44" W X 21.5" D.

    I'm trying to find a desktop that's around that size, and I'm looking at this one, but the only thing bugging me about it is the sliding keyboard. I don't hate them, but they do tend to be annoying at time, and I'd prefer a normal desk without one. But it does have the dimension I could use in my space, and a spot to put my desktop as well, and even place both my laptop and monitor on there without problems. I'm trying to go less than $150, because I honestly don't want to spend too much since i just built that computer, and I don't mind waiting for a few more paychecks, but this desk needs replacing at some point. Honestly I wish I could go with a L-desk, but there's just no room in my room for it, given the placement of outlets and a stupid door that goes to the water heater.

    Any suggestions from the peanut gallery?

    IKEA has really cheap desk options available if you have one nearby. I spent probably $120 on my desk from there (kind of an old pic, but I don't feel like taking a new one):

    The drawer unit was the most expensive piece at around $80, the table top was $20, and the legs were $10/each (not pictured, and there are cheaper options available).
