And they are easily adaptable for Apple as well.

We are. You do know that "homebuilt" in both the groups names applies
to computers, not desks?

It's the computer that will go under/on the desk that is homebuilt - more or less. I think the sound
card is the only bit left from when it was a build to order back in 2002.
 
Seriously, this time, I would have thought it would be ok, just as long as
it has some means of securing it to the wall. Free-standing, it looks
completely wrong to me. Also, from the pics, it's pretty ugly. Have you seen
one at Ikea?

Jolly good. The desks look pretty shallow to me, unless you've got a
very small case (or mount it sideways) it'll stick out rather.

Looks like a severe attack of form over function. Trot along to your
nearest used office furniture shop and you should be able to get
something 10 times as solid for less money - unless you really care what
the label is, or course.

Mine is Herman Miller (£10 - OK, we were closing the factory) and an
anonymous trolley with a home made top (£free, if I'd just take it
away).
The Herman Miller can take a 20"+ CRT and someone standing on it, both
at once. Cabling system too - not that I can be bothered to thread it.

It's 62 cms deep. That's plenty for the PC, and enough for a keyboard and
TFT screen. Not enough for a CRT, though.

OK. Allow 10+cm for cable bends and air exhaust gap, and that just
about fits.

I've always thought that my next desk will be a stand
up desk.

One that I could use while standing upright on my feet
... or using a bar stool height chair if wanting to set
down

I think being able to stand up would be healthier at
times.

I know what you mean. I'm rather tempted to get a recumbent exercise
bike, or maybe a running machine, to put under my next build.

I work from home. It promotes indolence, which promotes
waist-inches...

I was only joking, because I thought you were, but you weren't, were you?
lol!

Heh! Joking-only-serious, really. If I could burn up calories while
reading Usenet I'd need a complete new wardrobe in a month due to
losing ten kilos!
