I had a computer desk (from Argos(ohh the shame of it)), it didn't survive my house move, indeed it just would'nt fit back together again.I have been lying (or crouching) on the floor to us my 840av.
I also bought a short while back a CD Holder, this was wood(similar to origional computer desk) with plastic inserts(to hold the cd's). I ripped out the plastic inserts & bought 2 more CD Holders(the plastic inserts were a problem cos they wobbled), & have made 2 "legs" and fixed these to a part of my old desk. The new desk is small, but adequate, the only problem being that the keyboard is perhaps too close to the screen. I may invest in a keyboard tray to fix beneatth the main table section(I built this slightly high anyway).
I need to tidy it up a little & am contemplating covering it with "Fablon"(brand name it is thick sticky backed plastic, often with a wood pattern)
It took me three hours & I am proud as I usually give up on anything "diy".
Oh yes, the back bit(monitor stand) was lower than my front bit & so I used old 720k floppy disks to make the height up!
12 floppy disks = 4cm , in case any of you are keen to do something similar.
I have no idea what 4cm is in other measurements, much as I have no idea when I get a customer who says to me "my bay window is the "standard" size it's 163 inches"
It totally frazzles my brain & I run for the conversion chart.
