Well in keeping with design concept of the 24 inch MAC I would find a ordinary
desk, ask the vendor to add a few stripes and Keyboard goes here sticker and charge you a extra 1200 dollars for it. :lol:

To answer the OP's question::

I went to my local Ikea and put together a desk using the Galant system and then used the Expedit as a hutch. It did require some imagination & a tape measure to make sure it would fit. I now have my Mac Pro on the desk & I like it. YMMV.

Sorry man I was just trying to be funny. I am glad to see you were able to find yourself a desk and hope the OP is able to work through this as well.

Serious advice ok..... Buy a really good desk. You would not want to expose yourself to this level of trauma again! We all go through the I need a flat surface issue at one time or another...there are no experts, only desk buyers with experience.

On a more serious note, knowing where in the world you are would help.
Also some idea of budget, and size would be good.

The best advice I could give is search Flickr for "Ikea desk" and you should find thousands of good examples.

^ like Moppie stated more information would help POTN members help you..
