I like old office furniture, I pick mine up at the VT Surplus Auction. They seem to have an endless supply of fairly deep white oak desks that sell for $5-15. Deep enough to accommodate CRTs or deep test equipment with ease, though you'll have to modify the wide drawer with the pencil tray or sit a little higher and put the keyboard on the desktop itself.

Thanks, Jonathan

Hey folks --

Does anyone have any epic retro computer desks/tables they've seen that they'd recommend?

I currently have an Atari 800XL, Atari Mega STE, and an Amiga 1200 crammed on a small 5' x 30" table. It has a few "stacks" for separating monitors, mice, and keyboards, but I'm looking to build something bigger than this. I might convert my guest room into a retro room (and then add an Atari 7800, Jaguar, and maybe an Amiga 500).. so if anyone has any suggestions, ideas, or pics they'd recommend I look at -- I'd appreciate it :).

I do have a Roland MT-100 on the side for MIDI for these machines, and of course an old onkyo stereo to play those chiptunes loudly :).

Thanks! John

Do they have the "ESD workbench" type furniture that is modern? I assume all that gets used. Love them desks with all the shelves and power strips and florescent lights and stuff. Probably better for working on the hardware versus setting it up for use.
