Sure I could slap something together but I want. I have no trouble
finding simple plans or just outright designing it from scratch; it's
just a desk. But if I did that no sooner would I complete it than I
will have changed my mind or figured out how something could be
better. There has to be some acumulated knowedge about the art of
desk design. I just don't know how or where to find it.


First, no matter what you do your going to think you could have done
something different or better.

The suggestion about getting crates, books, planks, and setting up a
temporary station. I got a used piece of junk computer desk set and took
the SawZall after it. Cut off the parts that didn't belong.

Most people seem to have their monitors in a corner facing the corner or
wall. Been there, can't do it. I'm not claustrophobic. Quite the
opposite. I don't need control of the room but I do need to be able to
see it. This simple thing, not sitting in a corner and my not being
comfortable not being able to see the room I'm sitting in, determines
there can't be anything above desk top level except the monitor.


Not to say I put much truck in Fung-Shway (?) but it does seem to have a
few valid points.

Then there's the room it's going to be in. Our idiot box is in the
living room with the other idiot box.
