Anyone out there have a decent computer gaming/office desk that holds 2 monitors and is good for us old guys arm posture that won't make a wife cringe everytime she walks past it?

The desk I have now is great, but not meant for gaming as the mouse is higher than the keyboard and all the repetitive motion is killing my shoulders.

Just looking for some idea.

Feel free to show your "sloppy" "dork-stations". I always get a kick out of those things.
 
I have one of those nice long corporate solid wood desk, it can handle almost any load. Its almost perfect for gaming, ill upload a picture once I get home today.
 
I'm just using a 6 foot Meco folding banquet table. Really have no idea how it came to be in my possession but long flat surface, easy to clean... have a 27" screen on it as well as a 24" in portrait. Does the job and easy to pack up and haul out should martians attack.
 
well mine is just a good ol wooden desk and it currently holds 2 textbooks, a whole bunch of CD cases, headphone/iem accessories, a tv box, a VCR box, two monitors and some other small stuff.
If i were u i would go to some stores and take a look/ get a feel of some of the desks there
 
I built my own. This is a pretty old photo from not long after I started using it. Built it from 3/4" bamboo plywood left over from other projects. It has served me pretty well thus far but I'll be moving on in the next few months to something larger, built-in, and able to accommodate 2-3 workstations.

Got a blank wood door at Lowe's and a couple of sawhorses. Little bit of polyurethane on the door and voila! Think I spent about $70. Favorite desk I've ever had.
 
Geez, Jordan, Dixie Beer? Pisswater and I'm from the N.O. area.

Here's what I have now, w/ only one monitor. Nice and cluttered.

Nah, I don't drink dixie, just a cool patch I've had forever. I used to live in nawlins about 10 years ago.

That's sierra nevada torpedo in the pic.
 
Got a nice desk here..butt ugly!

I accidentally bought this desk in an industrial auction (with 5 others just like it) when several lots were combined. Pissed off at first because they would take all my trailer space, then i noticed they had control panels on them (on the right side... 2 arrows). The desk is electronically adjustable from 2 feet to about 5 feet! Sorry the others are long gone...

This really helps in 2 areas:
1. allows adjustment for the perfect height to rest you arms and prevent that pain between your shoulder blades.
2. you can still play when you are so tired you cannot hold your head up cuz you can raise the table to chin level and set your head on it... :-)

is it a pita to have the crosshairs in the middle (where the screens join?)?

I'm guessing everyone else is doing the same thing I am when it comes to dual monitors, one screen for gaming and a second for system info/ventrilo/clock/whatever
