Finally moved into the new house and got some time to set up the new "Studio". This is a combo Video/Audio/Photo editing space with a seperate area for recording instruments and vocals. Not finished yet, still need to hang the wall treatments... but here it is.

This is the new London Blue Desk 5000 with optional Dual Monitor Stand and Dual Studio Monitor Speaker Stands.
The desk is 62" wide, and 32" deep. It comes with a cable tray lining the back. Built of sturdy 2x4's and 3/4 inch plywood, it will last a lifetime.
The Monitor Stand is 10" off the desk, 48" wide and 24" deep. Made of sturdy 2x10 stands with 3/4 inch MDF top, it too should last a lifetime.
The speaker stands are custom made wooden boxes on their side putting the speakers a healthy 12 inches above the surface of the desk at optimal hearing height.

You can own one of these desks for a cool $100 in materials and about 4 hours of cutting and assembly time.

PowerMac G5, 24" and 19" displays, M-Audio Studio Monitors, and Presonus Monitor Station not included.

Splinters don't appear to be optional! :lol: Throw some trim on the front edge of that desktop and then slap a piece of formica or at least some plastic to keep the splinters down.

4 years old and never a splinter. I routered the front edge and then sanded it all down. It's actually rather smooth with years of use.

Aren't the screens too high to be comfortable?
