(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So, I have already made a thread about me building a new desk. With my situation, there is two problems; 1. Must be under $100, and 2. I have a LOT of stuff.

I currently have a Walker Edison L-Desk, and I am running out of room. So, I came up with the idea of taking a solid-wood door and turning it into a desk. But the door is superbly heavy for a simple desk. So, I also thought about taking a decently thick piece of plywood and using that instead. But, I can't find any sizes I want. So, at this time, I am kind of stuck in decision making.

What it needs to be able to hold:
2 20" AOC Monitors
Desktop Tower
Mouse and KeyBoard
2 PS3's, PS4, and an Xbox One
and a 32" TV (May get rid of it for a 27" monitor.)

I am currently using SketchUP to come up with a rough design of what I want it to look like. If you have any ideas or suggestions, tell me.

I will update this thread when I get a rough sketch of what I want.

A desk like this would probably hold all your shit and some.

3 monitors of the same size don't work and a good sturdy triple screen Mount isn't exactly cheap and all those monitors need a visa mount. Its best to go with 2 monitors run a spliter into one of those two and call it a day, after all aren't you trying to save space?

Not really trying to save space... I am kind of in the process of switching to PC Gaming only. But, all of my friends are on PS3 and PS4. I would like another desk, but it is NOT needed. I am currently in the process of upgrading my pc more. The reason I am looking to build a desk around $120 or below is because I am about to drop about $500+ on some more components. I also thought about keeping the desk I have now, and waiting and seeing if I can convince all of my friends to buy a PC and call it even.

Then take your consoles somewhere else not everything has to be on a desk like 1337 utub shotter fgts. Also telling them to go drop $750 at least on a new gaming setup isn't the easiest thing to do assuming they are console sge and most likely jobless
