I am finding it really hard to find a good computer desk. Everything I've looked either focuses on the "computer" part but then leaves out the desk part and any useful shelves or drawers. And the ones that focus on the "desk" part do not have a solid grip on how a computer tower works or where to put it. The most common blunder in that regard is having a closed cabinet for the tower. You know, where there is ZERO air flow. Genius!
I've found three pretty good desks, but I just can't pull the trigger on any of them. The first one has in my opinion the best design for accommodating the tower and I like the shelf underneath the desk, but it has massive filing cabinet drawers and the silliest printer stand I have ever seen. It's so tall! The second one has a better storage layout with two normal sized drawers, a cubby, and space underneath the desk to the right, plus is has an opening on the side of where the tower goes for side fans and what appears to be a hole for at least cables if not also maybe the rear fan. I wish it had a shelf underneath like the previous desk and I don't know if that space for the tower would be the best for me (my new computer is being delivered this week). The third desk is a fantastic "desk" in my opinion and has the perfect blend of shelves, drawers, and open space. It also has the back of the tower space open, so as long as you leave some space between the wall then the computer should be able to breathe just fine. And yet the color is too light and I'd rather have a darker desk because goes with spaces better. I have no idea what kind of room I'll be in a year. I know that sounds like a stupid nitpick, but my mom is an interior designer so it's something that nags at me. Plus it looks like cheap particle board even if it isn't and it has sharp corners. I had a desk with sharp edges and I did hurt myself on it.
Why can't I just find a good desk?!
